OUT NOW IN CINEMAS AND NOMINATED FOR FOUR OSCARS A cool, cruel,
rediscovered classic of American noir adapted for cinemas by
Guillermo del Toro, starring Bradley Cooper, Cate Blanchett and
Rooney Mara 'Read and shudder. And relish' Guardian 'A creepy,
all-too-harrowing masterpiece' Washington Post Stanton Carlisle,
employed as a carny at a travelling circus watches their freak-show
geek - an abject alcoholic, the object of the voyeuristic crowd's
gleeful disgust and derision - and wonders how a man could fall so
low. There's no way in hell, he vows, that anything like that will
ever happen to him. Unlike the tragic figure he sees before him,
Stan is young, clever and ambitious and quick to learn from the
other carnival acts. Initially teaming up with a beautiful but
vulnerable woman as part of a double act in which he mesmerises
her, Stan soon leaves his circus days behind him, becoming a
successful spiritualist who exploits the weak and the wealthy. But
even the very best con-men can meet their match.... With a new
introduction from James Smythe, Nightmare Alley is a forgotten
classic of Depression-era America: a brilliant, horrifying,
compulsive journey into the true darkness of the human mind.
