MENAGERIE

Book ID/图书代码： 14939915B85524

English Summary/英文概要： From New York Times bestselling author Rachel Vincent comes a richly imagined, provocative new series set in the dark mythology of the Menagerie…

When Delilah Marlow visits a famous traveling carnival, Metzger’s Menagerie, she is an ordinary woman in a not-quite-ordinary world. But under the macabre circus black-top, she discovers a fierce, sharp-clawed creature lurking just beneath her human veneer. Captured and put on exhibition, Delilah is stripped of her worldly possessions, including her own name, as she’s forced to "perform" in town after town.

But there is breathtaking beauty behind the seamy and grotesque reality of the carnival. Gallagher, her handler, is as kind as he is cryptic and strong. The other "attractions"—mermaids, minotaurs, gryphons and kelpies—are strange, yes, but they share a bond forged by the brutal realities of captivity. And as Delilah struggles for her freedom, and for her fellow menagerie, she’ll discover a strength and a purpose she never knew existed.

Renowned author Rachel Vincent weaves an intoxicating blend of carnival magic and startling humanity in this intricately woven and powerful tale.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： Delilah Marlow前往Metzger参观著名的Menagerie马戏团狂欢节，这时候她还只是一个普通的女人。但她周围的世界并不寻常。在马戏团恐怖的黑色穹顶下，她发现自己内心潜伏着一个凶猛的、长着尖锐爪子的生物。当这个生物被捕获并展出的时候，Delilah失去了一切身外之物，包括她的名字，并且被迫跟随着马戏团一个镇接着一个镇地去“演出”。

但狂欢节阴暗和怪诞的背后其实也隐藏着惊人的美丽。Gallagher是Delilah的管理员，他既神秘又强大，但也无比善良。那些用来吸引人的展览品，有人鱼、米诺陶、狮鹫以及水妖，它们确实是奇怪的，但也因为残酷的现实而结下不解之缘。Delilah在为自己以及那些怪物的自由斗争的同时，也将发现自己从未认识到的力量和目的。

这是一个令人陶醉的、交融了狂欢节和人性的错综复杂的故事。（LYR）

Awards/获奖情况：这是一个阴暗的故事，讲述了人们之间如何互相利用和虐待。段与段之间插入的“新闻”并没有详细地刻画细节，这个暗示告诉我们故事的设定还为下文留有余地，人类和超自然的生物的过去是令人震惊的，而他们的未来更是充满了未知的。《Library Journal》

节奏宜人，可读性强，充满想象。《纽约时报书评》

Vincent的写作风格大胆，充满生动的想象。《Kirkus Reviews》

"Vincent creates a fantastic world that is destined to pique your curiosity.

As Delilah Morrow slowly uncovers a side of herself that she never knew existed, you’ll sympathize with her as she faces one impossible struggle after another, desperate to see her succeed." —RT Book Reviews, TOP PICK!

“This is a dark tale of exploited and abused others, expertly told by Vincent. The worldbuilding is hinted at with faux-news items inserted between sections rather than drawn in detail, leaving room for further stories in this alternate America where humans and supernatural creatures have a devastating history and an uncertain future.” —Library Journal, starred review
