The Jokers of Sarzuz, Paul Sherman, TWB Press, Horror

A circus will live or die on the quality of its acts. Plagued with bad luck, Gabrazini’s Mammoth Circus is on the brink of bankruptcy, and Irena, the Golden Swallow of the Trapeze, is wheelchair bound after a fall. Her father and owner of the circus, makes a wish on her mother’s ashes. He would give anything if Irena could walk again. Enter the Jokers of Sarzuz, the greatest troupe of circus acts on the planet, along with their Ringmaster, Akrahad, who is a very scary fellow. Bad luck is his specialty.
