A Novel


"Geek Love: A Novel" is an enthralling tale about the Binewski family, a group of extraordinary individuals whose matriarch and patriarch have bred their own human oddities for exhibition. Set in a circus environment, this captivating novel presents a family with unforgettable traits including Arturo, a boy with flippers for limbs, and Iphy and Elly, a pair of Siamese twins.

Furthermore, there is the enigmatic Oly, an albino hunchback, and Chick, a seemingly normal sibling gifted with mysterious powers, yet equally dangerous. As the Binewskis traverse the United States, they inspire devoted fans and horrified hatred, while engaging in their own sinister version of sibling rivalry. In this masterpiece of fiction, family values are twisted as the authors shed light on our perceptions of the abnormal and the ordinary, the stunning and the monstrous, and the sacred and the obscene.

A compelling read, Geek Love delves into the depths of human nature, leaving readers questioning their notions of normalcy, while relishing its dark humour.
