Krátky popis
Stanton Carlisle, employed as a carny at a travelling circus
watches their freak-show geek - an abject alcoholic, the object of
the voyeuristic crowd's gleeful disgust and derision - and wonders
how a man could fall so low. There's no way in hell, he vows, that
anything like that will ever happen to him. Unlike the tragic
figure he sees before him, Stan is young, clever and ambitious and
quick to learn from the other carnival acts. Initially teaming up
with a beautiful but vulnerable woman as part of a double act in
which he mesmerises her, Stan soon leaves his circus days behind
him, becoming a successful spiritualist who exploits the weak and
the wealthy. But even the very best con-men can meet their
match.... With a new introduction from James Smythe, Nightmare
Alley is a forgotten classic of Depression-era America: a
brilliant, horrifying, compulsive journey into the true darkness of
the human mind
