“Jane Yolen is the Hans Christian Andersen of America” —The New York Times

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 brilliantly unnerving tales and poems, Central Park becomes a carnival where you can—but probably should not—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.

Wicked, solemn, chilling, and droll, the circus is ready for your visit—you just really won’t want to arrive late.
