Sharing a room with her sister was hard, but now they're sharing a body while trying to identify the killer. With few leads, a troupe full of secretive folk, and strange paranormal occurrences popping up around the circus, solving the case seems near impossible. But the murderer in their midst may be the least of their problems... 

"Humorous and heartfelt, creepy and captivating; readers will eagerly hope for another volume." - Kirkus

Advance Praise

Spectacle stars an amazing cast of exciting characters alongside expressive panels and wonderful dialogue—oh, and it's also a freaking supernatural circus murder mystery! Which has just become my new favourite genre, thanks to Megan Rose Gedris.” - Sarah Graley (Kim Reaper, Our Super Adventure)

“If you’re drawn to visually interesting artwork, this is definitely a series to consider. ” - Black Nerd Problems

“It’s easy to admire Gedris’ artwork, with its bold, lush colors, emotive faces and body language, and even in black and white flashback sequences Gedris applies a splash of red to provide framing to the key details. There is just as much story found in the art as there are in the words. With Spectacle, the possibilities seem endless.” - DoomRocket
