Opinion wanted for Freakshow - cobalt - 10-01-2006
I have the opportunity to purchase a copy of Freakshow. Forgive my naivete' but, is there a FPW story in the book? I see it on the cross reference, but where does it fit into things?

Buy it; there is a FPW interspersed throughout the entire book that probably runs about30-40 pages that is very good and it definitely has a place in the RJ universe. The rest of the anthology, like most anthologies, is a bit uneven. There are several good stories, a few average ones and a couple of clunkers.

Thanks!
Another jewel in the collection to be added!

I have rewritten my parts of the anthology, added new characters and subplots, and gathered it all together as =The Peabody-Prather Traveling Circus & Oddity Emporium=. It will be published in the near future by a small press. You'll hear about it soon. Ozymandias Prather appears in =All the Rage=, but these events occur in the spring-summer following =Harbingers=.

I haven't read Freak Show; I always just assumed that it preceded RJ.

What would you say were the clunkers, Scott?

COOL
When the newer version comes out, there's an order right here!

FREAKSHOW is mandatory reading for any FPW fan. For me, it explained a lot about Oz and his traveling circus, but mostly about Oz, himself. I loved it. Every story is rich and blends to make the oddest, freakiest whole. I look forward to the revised version. But by all means, read FREAKSHOW whenever, however you can.
