Interesting, but a bit confusing and I felt like I needed more to the story to really get into it. Still, it's Gaiman and it had some great graphics and some interesting twists. ( )

This was originally a short story by Neil Gaiman adapted into a graphic novel, and graphic it is. Miss Finch is on somewhat of a blind date, to join a group of friends, who all end up at a freak show circus. The graphic novel's main events take place at this circus, where truly unusual and sometimes frightening things take place. This "night in the life of" type story turns fantastical at the end, but I won't spoil it. For those who appreciate Gaiman's odd and complex personality, this will be a sure hit. For those who prefer the mainstream and conventional, I would suggest a word of caution. Personally, I thought it was refreshingly strange and didn't mind feeling a bit disturbed at the end. -Natalie Sapkarov

A simple trip to the circus moves from being a story of simple oddities to a story of much more complex and terrifying/exciting strangeness. I first read this story in Gaiman's short story collection Fragile Things and enjoyed there. The addition of Zulli's art and Klein's lettering add an extra bit of visual interest to the story without ruining it for fans of the original text by itself. The visuals are particularly fun in the freak showy circus scenes and the primeval jungle towards the end. This volume is well worth picking up. ( )
