What could be scarier than a clown outside the circus? Only the circus itself, in which killer clowns fight with acrobats, and the owners experiment on their artists. And only such a world, full of nightmares and grotesqueries, can force an ordinary klutz concierge to literally fight with himself - to fight with his clown alter ego for life and death. The author of the novel, Will Elliott, knows firsthand what a split personality is, although he does not consider the novel autobiographical. Nevertheless, the tentacles of schizophrenia penetrate so quietly but powerfully into the consciousness that the reader should be confident in his own mental balance before taking up the book.
