Summary

Welcome to the Midnight Circus -- and watch your step. The dark imaginings of fantasy icon Jane Yolen are not for the faint of heart. In these sixteen unnerving stories and related poems, Central Park becomes a carnival where you can -- but probably shouldn't -- transform into a wild beast. The Red Sea will be deadly to cross due to a plague of voracious angels. Meanwhile, the South Pole is no place for even a good man, regardless of whether he is living or dead
