Synopsis

From the twisted mind of Seanan McGuire comes Deadlands: Boneyard — the newest audiobook based on the hit Weird West RPG franchise DEADLANDS!

Step right up to see the oddities and marvels of The Blackstone Family Circus and Travelling Wonder Show! Gasp at pit wasps the size of a man’s forearm. Beware the pumpkin-headed corn stalker, lest it plant its roots in you!

Annie Pearl is the keeper of oddities, the mistress of monsters. Her unique collection of creatures is one of the circus’s star attractions, drawing wide-eyed crowds at every small frontier town they visit. But Annie is also a woman running from her past . . . and the mother of a mute young daughter, Adeline, whom she will do anything to protect.

Hoping to fill its coffers before winter sets in, the circus steers its wagons to The Clearing, a remote community deep in the Oregon wilderness, surrounded by an ominous dark wood. Word is that a travelling show can turn a tidy profit at The Clearing, but there are whispers, too, of unexplained disappearances that afflict one out of every four shows that pass through the town.

The Clearing has it secrets, and so does Annie. And it may take everything she has to save her daughter—and the circus—from both.

Deadlands: Boneyard is a gripping audiobook of the Weird West, set in the haunted frontier of DEADLANDS, the award-winning game from Pinnacle Entertainment Group.

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC! I've been a big fan of Seanan McGuire for a while so I was super excited to get this ARC, only to realize, belatedly, that it was a part of a series based on a western-style tabletop RPG filled with darkness, magic, monsters, undead, mad science, and a very particular......more

Goodreads review by Craig on June 17, 2022

This is the third in a series of novels based on a role-playing game. Not having read any of the other books or being at all familiar with the game, I don't know how much of this one is original to McGuire and how much is set in existing infrastructure. It's set in an alternate-weird wild West with......more

Goodreads review by Devann on November 15, 2017

I was a bit worried before I started this because I have no experience with the game this series is based on or the other two books in the series itself, but I will read every single book Seanan writes so I decided to dive right in. And although I'm sure there are some hidden Easter Egg type things......more

Goodreads review by Melissa on March 03, 2018

These characters have internal battles they are fighting before they come to the external ones. They grow in their experiences and understandings along with fighting what's after them. Great parallel here with both. Sometimes external battles help make the internal ones clearer. Annie has more bagga......more
