Someone mentioned Geek Love. That reminds me of a movie that came out in the 40's called Nightmare Alley with Tyrone Power. It was about a circus con man, a real jerk and it mentions circus geeks who were usually down and out alcoholic bums who they would pass off as for jungle wild men and keep these guys in booze until they usually died. Kind of a dark depressing flick but enjoyable.

Vampire apocalypse set in chicago. I've reread it a few times, which is saying something.
The Fire Children by Lauren Roy
Yound adult fantasy. I can just see some of the scenes, even now...in my head. Children made of fire, a flame floating across the room...amazing.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
