i've been watching american horror story: freak show & it reminded me of this old book ~
very special people ~
by frederick drimmer from 1973 ~
as its subtitle says this book is about the lives & struggles of so-called human oddities like jojo the dog-faced boy ~
or the caterpillar man known as prince randian ~
for so many of these folks the circus sideshow was the only way they could earn their living ~
ad found in an old comic book ~
many of the people in this book were in the 1932 film called freaks.. (i notice scenes in american horror story freak show are specifically reminiscent of scenes from this old cult classic) ~
