The Peabody-Ozymandias Travelling Circus Oddity & Emporium

Product Description This novella was expanded from "Freak Show," the nigh impossible to find anthology F. Paul Wilson edited back in 1992. It was originally published as a 500-copy collector's edition that sold out on publication. With copies of the limited going for over $100 on the aftermarket, the author decided to make inexpensive paperback and ebook editions available to his readers. The story involves the Otherness and ties into both the Repairman Jack series and The Adversary Cycle. Follow Oz and his band of freaks as they tour the country on a dark mission that threatens the nature of reality itself. (A companion piece to "The Last Rakosh" and the Repairman Jack novel, ALL THE RAGE.) About the Author F. PAUL WILSON is the award-winning, NY Times bestselling author of The Keep, The Tomb, and forty-plus other novels spanning horror, adventure, medical thrillers, science fiction, and virtually everything between. More than eight million copies of his books are in print in the US and his work has been translated into twenty-four languages. He is best known for his urban mercenary, Repairman Jack. His latest novels are FATAL ERROR and JACK: SECRET VENGEANCE. "The troupe. The freak show. People with green skin, white skin, furry skin, reptile hide, no eyes, extra eyes, no digits, extra digits, people with visions, with no visions, with one face, with two faces. A gathering to give many a towner nightmares for life. But to Oz, they were beautiful. Because they were kin. Brother and sister were not forms of address he took lightly. Truly kin. For they shared a common parent, a third parent that had left an indelible imprint on their genes. The Otherness. Each had been touched by the Otherness. And so begins a hunt ... for the pieces of a Device, a Contraption, a Thing-a-ma-jig. Call it what you will, it has power ... it straddles the worlds -- the one we know and another we cannot see. What it will do when reassembled, only Oz knows. But the completed Device, activated in the right place at the proper time will change everything -- make up down, and down up ... freaks normal, and normals freaks. Hop aboard. The Oddity Emporium leaves soon. You want to join. You need to join. You'd damn well better join."--Page 4 of cover
