[PRE-ORDER - RELEASES APRIL 22ND] PAPERBACK VERSION.
Beneath the striped canopies of the Midnight Menagerie, wonders stir and nightmares awaken. Strongmen flex their might, fortune tellers spin futures, and acrobats defy the stars. But if it is shadows you seek—if you are drawn to the hush of velvet-draped corners where the line between spectacle and sorcery blurs—then step closer.Here, within these pages, beasts from beyond the veil prowl in cages not quite strong enough. Carnival performers barter in secrets instead of silver. Mystics weave illusions that refuse to fade, and every whispered promise carries a cost. From the neon glow of alien menageries to the flickering lantern light of haunted carnivals, Midnight Menagerie is a collection of the eerie, the wondrous, and the strange.So take your seat, dear reader. The lights are dimming, the curtains are rising… and the show is about to begin.
Benjamin M. Weilert's story, "The Physics of Equus Monoceros" follows Dr. Kat MacGregor as she carries on her mother's research concerning black holes and singular-horned animals. Her broken home life pales in comparison to the threat the billionaire elite pose to her if she can't find the elusive Equus Monoceros.
