A mysterious novel that was adapted into a star-studded blockbuster
Stanton Carlisle is a magician in a travelling sideshow that offers various oddities to an eager audience: the world's strongest man, an electric girl, and the so-called geek, the lowest form of human existence. But as a master of manipulation, Stan is heading in the opposite direction. He gradually works his way up, and it seems the world is his oyster… until the moment his certainties are reduced to ashes during a single séance. In Nightmare Alley, even the brightest dream can turn into a nightmare.
