Cover of Goldenland Past Dark

Goldenland Past Dark

A hostile stranger is hunting Dr. Show's ramshackle travelling circus across 1960's America. The troupe's unravelling hopes fall on their latest and most promising recruit, Webern Bell, a sixteen-year-old stunted hunchback devoted obsessively to perfecting the surreal clown performances that come to him in his dreams. But as they travel through a landscape of abandoned amusement parks and rural ghost towns, Webern's bizarre past starts to pursue him, as well.
