Fate Accomplice
A fourth venture into the wonderfully bizarre world of Accomplice – the strange, surreal fruit of the imagination of Steve Aylett, one of the most critically acclaimed writers working today.
With an episode in the history of Accomplice coming to a close, the Circus of the Heart’s Shell transforms the town square into a venue for hellish clowning. Meanwhile, as the forces of the demon Sweeney close in on his accidental, oblivious nemesis Barny Juno, many questions arise. Is humanity more consistently evil than any mythical fright, as Dietrich Hammerwire claims? Will Fang be reunited with his zombie family? What does doomed mayoral candidate Eddie Gallo find outside the city limits? Will Gregor survive a boxing match with a slob demon?
Only Karloff’s Circus holds the answers – as well as the dark wit, sharp observations, linguistic acrobatics and brilliantly bizarre imaginings so typical of Aylett – to these questions. This book is the Rosetta Stone of the Accomplice series.
