Description

Discover the dazzling new queer literary horror novel about chosen family and the risks it takes to become the person you want to be. ‘The glittery punk offspring of Katherine Dunn’s Geek Love and Angela Carter’s Nights at the Circus.’ Chelsea G.

Summers, author of A Certain HungerA travelling funfair of seductive troublemakers arrive in a repressed Scottish town.

What could possibly go wrong?It’s the summer of ’97 and the Scottish town of Pitlaw is itching for change. Enter the Freakslaw – a travelling funfair populated by deviant queers, a contortionist witch, the most powerful fortune teller, and other architects of mayhem.

It doesn’t take long for the Freakslaw folk to infiltrate Pitlaw’s grey world, where the town’s teenagers – none more so than Ruth and Derek – are seduced by neon charms and the possibility of escape. But beneath it all, these newcomers are harbouring a darker desire: revenge. And as tensions reach fever pitch between the stoic locals and the dazzling intruders, a violence that’s been simmering for centuries is about to be unleashed…Praise for Freakslaw:‘A wild, fun house of horrors – whip smart, the sharpest writing, funny, visceral and filled with vengeance.

I loved it!’ Rachelle Atalla, author of The Pharmacist‘Delightful, delirious and transgressive… a queer punk masterpiece and we should all be so lucky to have our lives turned upside down by a visit to the Freakslaw.’ Leon Craig, author of Parallel Hells‘Wild, raunchy, brutal – a madcap funhouse with heart.’ Liska Jacobs, author of The Pink Hotel
