The Bizzare Fantastic

Author

True Dabill, Minnesota State University, Mankato

Abstract

The Bizarre Fantastic is a novel that explores historical and supernatural horrors gathered in a small port town in northern Minnesota in late August 1922. When a circus led by a southerner with attractions and games aimed at stoking the racial hatred in the White citizens of the town, three underdogs must band together to take down this racial existential threat any way they can. The reader will be entranced by the historical setting while being enthralled and chilled by vampires, goblins, and a book bound in human skin. This historical fiction/horror hybrid will inspire resistance, show the power of collective action, and unsettle the fainthearted.
