Published by Anchor Books in 2010
I picked this book up on a whim as it had some great cover art, thinking that would be as far as the fun would go was my mistake! This turned out to be an unexpectedly good find that blended sci-fi with a little Gothic humor in just the right combination.
The cover quote states that it is "wicked and inventive" and I agree completely. A carnival comprised of the undead, lead by a necromancer and his vampire brother. Their goal is to retrieve 100 souls in a years time as a wager with Satan.
The best part is that it isn't until the last page that we learn the true reason for the whole quest and Johannes Cabal's real goal. Very fun, I will have to read more of the series!
