About this product
Product Information
Evil lives in a traveling carnival roaming the Depression-era South. But the carnival's newest act, a peculiar young woman with latent magical powers, may hold the key to defeating it. Her time has come. Abandoned by her family, alone on the wrong side of the color line with little to call her own, Eliza Meeks is coming to terms with what she does have. It's a gift for communicating with animals. To some, she's a magical tender. To others, a she-devil. To a talent prospector, she's a crowd-drawing oddity. And the Bacchanal Carnival is Eliza's ticket out of the swamp trap of Baton Rouge. Among fortune-tellers, carnies, barkers, and folks even stranger than herself, Eliza finds a new home. But the Bacchanal is no ordinary carnival. An ancient demon has a home there too. She hides behind an iridescent disguise. She feeds on innocent souls. And she's met her match in Eliza, who's only beginning to understand the purpose of her own burgeoning powers. Only then can Eliza save her friends, find her family, and fight the sway of a primordial demon preying upon the human world. Rolling across a consuming dust bowl landscape, Eliza may have found her destiny. 'Henry skillfully layers historical realism with fantastic elements to explore the way times of desperation test the ethics of oppressed communities. Henry is a writer to watch.' -- Publishers Weekly 'In Henry's debut novel it is Depression-era Baton Rouge, Louisiana where Eliza Meeks' abandonment by her family sets her on a journey in the GB Bacchanal Carnival, where she develops her special gift to communicate with animals...Miles complements the enigmatic ambiance of the prose and calls upon an array of accents for the peculiar personalities that come to enrich the dynamics of the traveling carnival. She instinctively pulls the story together making it more cerebral and thoroughly engaging in audio.' -- Booklist

"Henry skillfully layers historical realism with fantastic elements to explore the way times of desperation test the ethics of oppressed communities. Henry is a writer to watch." -- Publishers Weekly "Henry's debut draws on a rich history of folklore from various African traditions, as well as African history and Black American history, and almost the entire main cast is Black. The carnival setting works perfectly for bringing together various strange and magical people who aren't at home anywhere else...Come one, come all, this magical carnival has all the delightful dangers a reader could wish for." -- Kirkus Reviews "[ Bacchanal is] gorgeous while somehow never losing sight of the need to unsettle. It captures a sense of wonder and reminds you that too much curiosity can lead to danger. And most importantly, it's Black and never lets you forget it. If you want endearing characters, a charming setting, and characters that refuse to bend to the world's injustices then Bacchanal is the book for you." -- FIYAH Magazine "With a powerful voice that grips you from its very first pages, Bacchanal casts a spell on readers...Eliza is a wonderful character...Not a traditional superhero, Eliza's special power is a highlight of this work, and readers will root for the young conjurer and for Henry as she explores the limits of her gifts." --Sheree Renée Thomas, Editor of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction , award-winning author of Nine Bar Blues , and featured in Black Panther: Tales of Wakanda "Writer Veronica Henry pulls on a mix of African folklore, Black histories, and carnival culture to weave a story of mesmerizing, bizarre, and dangerous magic. With a heroine of unique powers and a cast as colorful as any sideshow, this story offers up its share of delights, adventure, and frights! Welcome to Bacchanal. Enjoy the sights. Hope you make it out alive!" --P. Djèlí Clark, author of Ring Shout , The Haunting of Tram Car 015 , and The Black God's Drums "Readers won't want their travels with the seductive and dangerous Bacchanal Carnival to end. Veronica Henry's debut impeccably conjures the 1930s and marks the bold entrance of a vital new voice in modern fantasy." --Gwenda Bond, New York Times bestselling author of Stranger Things: Suspicious Minds "If you took The Night Circus and viewed it through the gaze of a young Black woman in the Great Depression, you might get Veronica Henry's Bacchanal . Demons, lies, and secrets." --Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo award-winning author of The Calculating Stars, "Henry skillfully layers historical realism with fantastic elements to explore the way times of desperation test the ethics of oppressed communities.
