The Binewski family does create their own freak show but I thought it’d be in a kidnapping and mutilating strangers way. It’s creepy, but not in a spooky way, more like a sex offender stalking you at the park way. I don’t know that I would call it horror but I’m not sure what else it would be. The description of a carny family that creates their own freak show caught my attention and I dove in. I was looking for something for October, something horror, something creepy, maybe something kind of gross. I picked up Geek Love after finding the title on a list of body horror books. The summary has been adapted from an earlier spoiler full review and has some overlap with the spoiler free review. The review and summary have been separated so that if you would prefer to avoid spoilers of Geek Love by author Katherine Dunn you can stop reading.
