Unnerving as clowns are, generally, there is none more chilling than the notorious BimBam Tickles, the Iron Clown of Svenborgia. Let me explain why.
Circus traditions vary greatly by country. In Svenborgia, for example, you must pay for your ticket with a special currency obtainable only by selling your blood to the clown on gate duty, who shares it with the rest of them by adding it to flutes of champagne. During the actual show, you will partake of the cotton candy that is spun by a rare breed of caterpillar and flavored with exotic moth-wing dust that is said to offset the terrifying symptoms of insanity (and by the tenth minute of the performance, you’ll need it). As the spectacle unfolds, you’ll know that while you toss and turn in your bed that night there are going to be some great parties — with jugglers, acrobats, and especially clowns — raging on until the dawn.
The Iron Clown asked, “So did you kill him then? For double-bunning your spongy oven?”
Laughing again, the Crystal Clown replied, “Nah, he’s alive.” I felt her shrug. “I think.”
