One day an accident nearly cost him his life, and he became exposed to the corrupt underworld of the circus, rife with murder and cannibalism.

Editorial Reviews Review "It's Pinocchio meets Candide meets Kubrick doing funny... Twisted but clever.... the action reaches out and squirts you in the eye." --Mark Moyes, Rue-Morgue magazine "Whistles comes across as one of the strongest and most instantly winning and winsome dark fables I've read since Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, with a similar level of stark and unexpected horror, but a heftier dose of heart and honest character evolution than even that aforementioned classic managed to achieve." --Dave Baxter, Brokenfrontier.com
