I really enjoyed this, was my first Al Sarrantonio and it does A LOT. I was expecting a pretty typical haunted carnival story, but there was a lot more at play.
Cosmic Horror, Ireland, Samhain, creepy little ladies, all tied together with one DRUNK ass detective.
This wasn't super slow paced, but it wasn't super fast paced, I guess this is the rare medium paced novel.
Sarrantonio beautifully sets scenes with very vibrant atmosphere.
The Carnival stuff is only in the last act.
