The Mud Ballad by Jo Quenell

4.0

Reading this was a wild ride that I very much enjoyed. The Mud Ballad is a short and compelling read, and the story is dark but somehow funny at times too. I read the entire thing easily in one sitting. In my opinion, the mud-filled town added a lot to the of atmosphere of the book and made the characters' troubles seem even more hopeless. Overall this is a twisted, sharp, creative, odd, and unique story, and I am so glad I decided to give it a read. Totally recommend picking this up, especially if you like stories that feature characters that belong to a freak show or circus.
