Lil Binewski, born a Boston aristocrat, was in her time the most stylish of geeks. That is to say she made her living by biting the heads off live chickens in front of a Carnival audience. This she gave up for doting motherhood, because she had her fairground- owning husband had a money spinning idea. Throughout each pregnancy Lil gobbles pesticides, experiments with drugs and douses herself with radiation to ensure that she prodcues infants grotesque enough to keep the turnstiles clicking. She does. Arturo the Aqua Boy is a limbless megalomaniac, Electra and Iphigenia are musically gifted Siamese twins with a penchant for prostitution and Fortunato is possessed of stange telekinetic powers. Their story- by turns shocking, tender, touching and cruel- is narrated by their sister Olympia. She is a bald, hunchbacked, albino dwarf.

In 1994, artist Alexis Rockman ventured to the dense jungles of Guyana, the site for this fantastic dreamscape of biological life. Rockman's world of nature - described by the artist as zoos in outer space; - is tempered by a penchant for the bizarre and the grotesque, but always based upon intimate observation of the environs. Monumental insects - ants, mites, bees, and beetles - vie on Rockman s vibrant canvasses with anteaters, exotic birds, piranhas, and iguanas. Guyana is accompanied by a lively, informative text by acclaimed novelist Katherine Dunn, author of Geek Love.

Senhoras e senhores, sejam bem vindos ao circo dos Binewskis, um lugar repleto de atrações extraordinárias e seres estranhos que vão surpreender o mais cético dos espectadores. Quando os ambiciosos donos de um circo itinerante se veem diante da decadência de seu próprio negócio, eles decidem mudar o jogo de maneira nefasta. Com o uso de substâncias radioativas e drogas, eles transformam seus filhos em aberrações - um espelho de sua própria moral - para salvar o negócio da família. Suas apresentações pelo país inspiram devoção de alguns e ódio de outros, e as tensões e valores familiares são levados a um novo nível. Geek Love lança sua luz sobre as nossas noções de bizarro e normal, belo e feio, sagrado e obsceno. Fãs da série American Horror Story e do filme Freaks, de 1932, vão se transformar com essa história, também uma das favoritas de Neil Gaiman, e tão singular quanto seus personagens.
