Geek Love by Katherine Dunn – Narrated by Christina Moore
A darkly hilarious, twisted cult classic of American literature!
The Binewski family runs a traveling carnival that’s on the verge of collapse. To save it, Al and Crystal Lil deliberately engineer their own children into extraordinary ‘freaks’ using drugs, radiation, and poisons during pregnancy. The results: Arturo the Aqua Boy (born with flippers instead of limbs and a megalomaniac charisma), conjoined twins Elly and Iphy (beautiful, musical, and dangerously entangled), Olympia (the albino hunchbacked dwarf narrator), and Chick (the seemingly normal youngest with mysterious telekinetic gifts).
As the family tours America’s backwaters, sibling rivalries, fanatic followers, and a cult-like following called ‘Arturism’ spiral into obsession, manipulation, and shocking extremes. This National Book Award finalist explores family loyalty, the freakish vs. the normal, body horror, dark comedy, and the grotesque beauty of being ‘other.’
Narrated brilliantly by Christina Moore, whose vibrant performance brings Dunn’s wild, energetic prose to life – perfect for fans of gothic fiction, bizarre family sagas, carnival tales, and literary horror.
