About This Book

The story of the Binewskis, a traveling carnival family who intentionally breed their own children to be freak show performers using toxic substances. Narrated by the albino hunchback Olympia, the novel follows the family's internal power struggles and the rise of her brother's messianic cult. It challenges conventional definitions of beauty and examines the darker aspects of parental ambition and sibling rivalry.
