So freaky. So upsetting. So utterly engrossing. And so very, very, VERY different than anything you've read before. This dark and twisted tale of an increasingly unhappy family of biogenetically designed circus freaks certainly isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. See, you've got Mom and Dad Binewski, a pair of starry-eyed carnies who decide to breed their own bona fide show stoppers by indulging in arsenic, amphetamines, and radioisotopes. Everything works out perfectly, for a while. Oldest son Artie, aka Aquaboy, sports flippers instead of arms and legs, but that doesn't stop him from a successful campaign to take over the world. Gorgeous Siamese twins Iphy and Elly just love being wrapped around each other, when they're not playing classical duets on the piano. Youngest daughter Olympia is a bit of a misfit, but only because she's so relatively normal compared to her brother and sisters; she's merely a hunchbacked albino dwarf. But when youngest son Chick, outwardly a Norm but inwardly the freakiest of all, arrives in all his health sweetness to complete the Binewski family circus, trouble starts a-brewin'. If you're the squeamish type, or aren't keen on uncomfortably close family values, we suggest you steer clear of this one. Otherwise, buckle your seatbelt, because the words "normal" and "abnormal" are about to take on entirely different meanings.
