This is a novella containing a series of short stories and starts off with the executed murderer Tom Requiem who is resurrected by agents of the Underland to lead a parade, which will “send some fears into the hearts of men.”
Over the next 5 stories he expands his entourage to include the person he murdered, a murderous golem, a bunch of circus freaks, a mythical creature known as a Sabbaticus, and a woman tortured to death in an iron maiden.
I liked it, it was a very quick read as it's just like 90 pages, it's brutal and dark as hell though so if you're squeamish - go elsewhere.
Overall I'd class this as a read-oncer.
