Synopsis
Based on the kinetic sculptures of Lisa Snellings, Strange Attraction is a carnival ride of dark fantasy and horror. These 24 tales and poems explore the night-side of the looming Ferris wheel and its many inhabitants. But things aren't always what they seem on this ride and surprises await all who stand in line, waiting to experience the wheel for themselves. The ride is open. Admit one. The signed limited edition includes a section of art plates of the artist's interpretations of the stories that interpreted her sculpture. Strange Attraction surely contains wheels within wheels.
