    About this audiobook

    From the New York Times bestselling author of Hounded—“a superb urban fantasy debut” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)—comes an Iron Druid Chronicles short story in the captivating Carniepunk anthology.

    The ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan gets more than greasy corn dogs and flat soda when he visits a carnival in Kansas to which his apprentice, Granuaile, drags him. He runs across a barker with a strange power over the crowd: attractive women leave their men and disappear into an unmarked tent, never to be seen again, and the men wander away, forgetting that they ever had girlfriends or wives. When Granuaile falls under the barker’s influence and enters the tent, Atticus isn’t about to forget it and move on. He and his Irish wolfhound, Oberon, pursue her and discover the horrifying secret to the carnival’s success.

      MOST NOVELISTS HAVE AT LEAST ONE book in a drawer that represents an early effort, a text that will never be offered up to a wider readership. In the case of Jay Kristoff, this book was a tale of bloodsuckers he wrote in 2008. “It was right at the ta

      Is there a more comical phrase, from the mouth of someone pushing 60, than ‘I'm an orphan now'? There may be rivals. ‘Suella Braverman,’ for example, ‘she's nice.’ Or ‘I love flying Ryanair.’ For all that, there is something so innately amusing about

      Awesome as always. Although, not completely understandable as a standalone work. Know who the iron druid is before attempting.
    • 4/5
      Liked the short story format. Didn’t care for the voice change. Especially the voicing of Oberon which took away all his personality developed in the first books.
    • 5/5
      Kevin hearne has a writing style that is so easy to read! Makes the unbelievable seem possible!
