In this collection of short stories, S.E. Tomas draws on his early experiences on the carnival, when he travelled through Canada and the United States with Conklin Shows. From gruelling setups and teardowns to drug-fuelled antics and one-night stands, these fourteen humorous stories provide a behind-the-scenes look at the travelling amusement business in the early '90s from the perspective of a freewheeling teenaged character named Jim.
