Geek Love
A Novel
Katherine Dunn
Geek Love is a twisted tale about the Binewski family, a group of carnival performers with their own brand of shocking human oddities. Through their use of drugs and radioisotopes, they breed children with flippers, albinism, and Siamese twin-like qualities. As the family travels the United States, their act gains devoted fans and outraged critics alike. This book takes a fascinating look at how our perceptions of beauty and normalcy can be profoundly altered.

I love this book. And Katherine was one of the first writers to champion my novel, which was such a thrill for me. Definitely a classic of dark weirdness. – source
