Rating: - Excellent! A lost coming-of-age masterpiece
Note: Some immature Mormon has been slamming my reviews because I wrote some negative reviews of books attempting to defend the Book of Mormon.
So your "helpful" votes are greatly appreciated. A short review is not necessarily a bad review if it leads you to a great novel. I've just noted the general theme. Thanks
I loved this novel about a strange carnival that comes to a small mid-western town. The hero is a boy who gets caught up in a mystery.

Rating: - Blind Voices: Excellent Novel about the Fantastic
When Haverstock's Traveling Curious and Wonder Show rolls into the small town of Hawley, Kansas the townspeople begin to stir. The magic and allure of seeing Tiny Tim, a mermaid, medusa, a Cyclops, a snake woman, and most of all, the Angel Boy, brings them all out to see the show. Are these unnatural creatures real or is it sleight of hand? Exactly how do they do that?
When Evelyn Bradley, a small town girl, runs into the show's strange but alluring Angel Boy, things begin to seem ... Read More

The only novel by this fantastic talent seized my imagination when I was about fifteen and transported me to a universe I really had forgotten about. When I was very young I had lived on a farm in the deep south, at ten we moved to New York and betrayed our country selves to the ultra hip cosmoplitan world of Long Island and the city. Then this bucolic fantasy with its sharp characters and clear, precise imagery came off the library shelf and drew me in to the pastoral world of Kansas in the 1920s. ... Read More
Rating: - An extraordinary novel
It's a shame that _Blind Voices_ was Tom Reamy's only novel. This novel is so extraordinary that it makes one wonder what Reamy would have been able to do if he had lived. First novels are typically choppy, but this one is anything but. _Blind Voices_ is a seamless tale of a small Midwestern town and the madman who comes and destroys their idyllic life.
The townsfolk are excited when a traveling wonder show comes to town. Everyone wants to see the Minotaur, the tiny man, Medusa, the Invisible ... Read More
Rating: - Magic, love, evil in Kansas
Reamy's only published novel, we encounter characters of clear definition and some true magic. Our protagonist is capable of self flight, and the use of flying in this story is amazing. Throw in a love story that is charming and innocent, add some good old fashioned revenge and violence and you have a hell of little book. Makes you wonder what Reamy could have accomplished had he lived a little longer. Also, try San Diego Lightfoot Sue and Other Stories, his only other book. More magic.
