Roll up, roll up to discover the Circus of Dreams!
The circus is coming to the village at the end of the world. There will be knife-jugglers and fire eaters, death-defying acrobats and wonders too strange to name!
Of all our fantastical acts, the most shocking and terrifying of all is the Monster of Dreams.
At the mid-of-night this fearsome creature will be revealed. Come and take a look - if you dare...
But what is a monster, really?
"Creepy, poetic and profound... a beautifully illustrated book about difference that hooks you like the best of ghost stories, before turning a mirror on its reader and challenging our preconceptions, our fears and our prejudice"
—Jason Cockcroft, author of We Were Wolves
