About this listen

The debut novel about the world's most hated music festival.

Seth is a jaded ex Juggalo who left the Faygo and face paint behind for a miserable middle-class existence. But when his marriage and his career fall apart, his best friend, Spike, offers him a free ticket to one last Gathering of the Juggalos where Seth is once again face-to-face with the magic of the infamous Dark Carnival.

“So many that came after the All-Mighty. Kids that weren't there for The Great Milenko, Stranglemania, Vinnie The f***in ICP Kid, the emergence of Twiztid, The first Gathering of the Juggalos conventions, to the first Gathering of the Juggalos festival, Dark Lotus, Big Money Hustlas, and the All-Mighty 6th Jokers Card. It was a magic era. Lightning in a f--king bottle that could never be recreated. But maybe, just maybe the story is being told again in a different way. For a new Juggalo. A reboot for a whole new generation of Juggalos and Juggalettes that can only read about my era on the internet. Or watch it on YouTube.”

the tone is weary and sardonic. the characters and events are realistic. lashings of humour. but most importantly, this book has all the details, references and in-jokes any true Juggalo will appreciate. and it's a very original book. nothing else like it.

I love the weary sardonic tone + authenticity

Definitely one for the Juggalos with a sense of humour.
It's cynical in parts, in regards to those painted minions, but shines a more positive light in other parts.
If you're a hardcore Juggalo, take it with a grain of salt. If you're a fan of the music and the atmosphere, it's great to just sit and absorb.
The overall message is pretty straightforward without climbing up itself with being preachy.
I just need the physical copy now.

Whoop Whoop!!
