I just finished Geek Love by Katherine Dunn. Probably not for everyone's taste but it was a pretty good read. Amazon description below but as usual there is more to the story than the jacket description.
Geek Love is the story of the Binewskis, a carny family whose mater- and paterfamilias set out–with the help of amphetamine, arsenic, and radioisotopes–to breed their own exhibit of human oddities.
