Sideshow by Mike Resnick: A cute little yarn about a New England traveling carnival which buys up a competing freak show. These freaks turn out to be aliens. Like many of Resnick’s tales, the characters here are rowdy, bawdy, and a hell of a lot of fun. And like your average carny, it doesn’t overstay its welcome: a quick 150 pages and you’re out.
