Book Review

Will Elliot: The Pilo Family Circus.

Horror/Supernatural, Bizarro Fiction, Fantasy. Published 2006

goodreads synopsis: Delivered by a trio of psychotic clowns, this ultimatum plunges Jamie into the horrific alternate universe that is the centuries-old Pilo Family Circus, a borderline world between Hell and Earth from which humankind’s greatest tragedies have been perpetrated. Yet in this place—peopled by the gruesome, grotesque, and monstrous—where violence and savagery are the norm, Jamie finds that his worst enemy is himself.

My thoughts: Absolutely twisted, strange and fantastic. A good introduction to bizarro fiction, my first time reading that genre. A messy, creepy and fast ride to Hell. I was entertained throughout. There is a Book 2 continuing the story and I’ll read it. Really good stuff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Life's a bitch and then you keep on fucking living.

Gonko, The Pilo Family Circus (Will Elliott)

‘The Pilgrims’ was kind of disappointing; I picked this up because a portal fantasy sounded like a fun thing to read, but it just didn't work for me. Standard fantasy world with an evil overlord, a grubby resistance, scattered monsters and demi-humans, casual sexism, and a 'hero' with a 'destiny.' Most damningly, there was no sense of wonder -- despite the occasional interesting idea or evocative scene, I never felt impressed or awed by the world... and what's the point of a portal fantasy that can't even do that?

The card, besides reflecting an early scene in the book, is sort of a ‘Go big or go home’ play; you’d need to either play larger creatures to absorb the damage, or be willing to pay to bring in smaller ones with a slight buff. Not sure how useful it’d end up actually being.

Read an excerpt from Word's End, the final volume in Will Elliott's Pendulum Trilogy.

When Eric Albright, a luckless London slacker, and his pal Stuart Casey went through a battered red door under a railway bridge, the last thing they expected to find was another world. There lay the strange, dark realm of Levaal, whose tyrant lord Vous has ascended to godhood. The great wall which has divided the land has been brought down, setting loose a horde of demonic Tormentors. In their sky prisons, the dragons are stirring, set to defy their slumbering creator and steal humanity’s world.

Shilen, a dragon cloaked in human form, has convinced Eric and Aziel, Vous’s daughter, to help free the dragons from their sky-prison, or Earth will be destroyed. She promises great power, and safety for all Eric’s favoured people, but Shilen has an ulterior motive, for the dragons wish to control humankind completely.
