About the Book

Beatrice, who only moments ago was the eldest member and leader of the Barka gang, just woke up dead. She was almost, probably, 12. Either the slap rash got her (as it gets everyone over the age of 12) or the Flabberghast got tired of waiting for her to drop dead and took her skin for a door and her bones for his stew. Who can say? What she can say is that she didn't get to wake up in heaven. Instead, she's in the Big Bah-Ha, a place that's supposed to be a comfort to children after they pass on. Only something's very, very wrong here and, despite all her bravery and cunning, she's not quite sure how to fix it, or if she'll survive the afterlife long enough to try. Advance Praise for The Big Bah-Ha "Physicists are discovering, to their horror, that future events cast their shadows into the past. If this be so, the fear of clowns so often seen in children may have its origin in this story. It is deep and wise and fabulous, and will leave you shuddering and strangely at peace. You could found a religion on it - or it may found a religion without you. Or found some new thing that humankind has not yet seen. Only God knows what would happen after the founding. As someone (you'll fi nd out who) says deep in the story, 'We're all clowns now.'" - Gene Wolfe, multiple award winner and author of The Sorcerer's House "C.S.E. Cooney is a remarkable young writer whose passion and elegance have thrilled me for some time now. I want the real world to be more like the magic she fashions and the truth she speaks. For now, we'll all have to settle for her poems and her prose." - Catherynne M. Valente, multiple award winner and author of The Habitation of the Blessed Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you a P.T. Barnum production of Dante's Inferno, scripted by Shel Silverstein, directed by Federico Fellini - if you can envision this unfolding around you in the Big Top, then you might have a grasp of what awaits you in C.S.E. Cooney's dizzy-giggle plunge into funhouse Hell. A cotton candy nightmare that bounces and crawls with carrion-eating clowns, murderous balloon beasts and deadly tent-spinners, The Big Bah-Ha wows with madcap twisted invention - and in its few short pages, you can't help but come to love its plucky, pint-sized heroes, and be moved by the big heart that's beating underneath. - Mike Allen, Nebula nominee and editor of Clockwork Phoenix The Big Ba-Ha is a macabre post-apocalyptic fairy tale, a rollicking fantasy of a band of near-feral children who brave a plague-ridden landscape on a desperate quest. To rescue one of their own, they will ally with the monstrous and enigmatic Flabberghast - who arrived only after the world ended and eats the bones of the dead - and penetrate the mystery of Chuckle City, home to ravenous packs of balloon aminals, murderous Gacy boys, and the elusive Gray Harlequin. The Big Ba-Ha - it's "The Goonies" meets "The Road Warrior," perfectly suited for both ordinary children and gifted adults, and one of the most original fantasies I've read in a long time. - John O'Neill, Founding Editor of Black Gate
