Review: Great Atmosphere and Description
Rating: 4 out of 5

Read "Circus of Blood" in two chunks, one on the train to graduate school and one at the gym.Tuck's greatest strength is his descriptive writing. The way he describes characters as they appear is excellent and never drags. And that ties into his ability to create atmosphere. As Deacon and friends make their way into the heart of the titular circus, it gets really creepy.The one quibble I've got is that the final fight scene was a bit short. Given who was squaring off against whom, I expected it to be a bit longer. Still, it's a great bite-sized chunk of the Deaconverse and I highly recommend it.
