    About this ebook

    A famous circus. A sick elephant. A dead artist encased in wax.

    What does it all mean? Neva, a bone-bending dancer, isn't sure. But she needs to find out before she ends up in wax herself.

    Magic in the Mud Show takes place in the Barnum & Bailey circus of 1892. The story was first published in the Winter 2020 issue of The Colored Lens and serves as a prequel to Witch in the White City.

    Nick Wisseman

    Nick Wisseman lives in the woods of Michigan with his wife, kids, ten dogs, sixty cats, and forty horses. (The true number of pets is an order of magnitude smaller, but most days it feels like more.) He’s not quite sure why he loves writing twisted fiction, but there’s no stopping the weirdness once he’s in front of a computer. You can find the complete list of oddities on his website.
