Carniepunk: Daughter of the Midway, the Mermaid, and the Open, Lonely Sea by Seanan McGuire

4.0

There's something magical about a circus, isn't there? Besides the magical environment, this short story has kind of a sad ring to it. Not in a bad way, but you often think of the circus as something cheerful and happy. The mermaid theme adds to the magic in a good way.
