I watched the film before reading the book, the book was immensely better than the movie though seeeing it play out first helped me better visualize the scenes and descriptions in the book.
This is a dark fantasy, a spooky read for autumn, about a sinister carnival that comes into town and claims people. I feel like I missed the reason or rationale for why they do what they do. It’s great for the ambiance but I had a hard time following a lot of it probably because I am more used to contemporary prose.
