Publishing on September 15!

At the Freak Show marks Candas Jane Dorsey's return to the page with a captivating experimental literary journey through selfhood, identity, grief, community, mirror worlds and alternate universes.

Asa is the survivor of a catastrophic attempt to separate conjoined twins. They have lived their life in liminal space, always in-between. Not a twin, not a single. Not a man, not a woman. Able to see faces in the mirror that are not their own and worlds that may be.

At the Freak Show is a story about finding community and finding yourself. It is about a world beyond the binary. Reading At the Freak Show is a journey through literary fiction, speculative fiction, social justice, coming of age, rock biography, and more.

At the Freak Show. September 15. Wherever you get your books.
