This book was a big disappointment. The plot wasn't good enough to carry a story lacking in any sort of characterization. I simply didn't care about these disposal people and ended up getting bored of all of the gore, sex and other assorted grossities about halfway through.

The premis of the book is great; a bizare freakshow carnival from another dimention sets up shop in near a small town every few years. Soon after the town disappears from the map. A government cover-up follows.
From there the book falls apart. There are too many quick storylines to follow and the ending is wrapped up way too fast and clean. I wanted to like the book but I just didn't.

A quick page turner about a group of sadistic creatures from another dimension. They use a carnival freak show as a cover. Kept me interested.
