jeanne_i_d 's review for:

Nightmare Alley by William Lindsay Gresham
5.0

Wonderfully dark and bizarre while also somewhat melodramatic and drawn out at times – still worthy of five stars. As other reviewers have mentioned, if you plan to read this book, pick up the New York Review Books edition as it has the original, uncensored text as published in 1946 or find a first edition.
