Has anyone read Geek Love by Katherine Dunn?

I’m not sure if it would be classed more as literary fiction rather than horror, or a mix of both, but the premise is a couple who own a travelling circus experiment with drugs and poison during their pregnancies to have children they can make shows out of. It was devastating and horrifying and honestly one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I felt so much for (most of) the characters.

I mostly enjoyed the perspective of the narrator (one of the children) who had never known anything different to the awful life she was living (this is what made me cry the most, just the fact she didn’t understand what was so bad about her life). Sort of a similar perspective to Brother by Ania Ahlborn where the main character knows no different to the horrors he commits. Or if you’ve seen the movie Dogtooth where the parents shelter their children from the outside world completely.

I know this is probably a weird perspective to want to read from but I find it so interesting.

If you have read it, do you have any recommendations that are similar? They don’t have to be about travelling circuses haha.
