    Is Nightmare Alley a good book?

    • "Nightmare Alley" is a raw, sordid, powerful book. It is full of details and people which enhance the seamy character of the tale. The primary characters, Stan and Molly, are well and cunningly developed and contrasted.

    Does Nightmare Alley have a moral compass?

    • The major opus of cult writer William Lindsay Gresham, this is a fullscale assault on everything legit, anything on the up and up; Nightmare Alley has exactly no characters that have an observable moral compass, nobody who gives a damn. It doesn't succumb to the cliché or conventions of the genre-- it lives for them.

    Was Nightmare Alley written by a drunk person?

    • ”Nothing worth reading was ever written by anyone who was drunk while writing it; but Nightmare Alley evinces every sign that its writing was binge-riddled. Booze is so strong an element in the novel that it can almost be a character, an essential presence like Fates in ancient Greek tragedy.
