Summary
As Micah discovers the joy of flight as an aerialist, courting his trapeze partner, Aenea, and confiding in the mysterious white clown, Drystan, he finally feels free. But the circus has a dark side, and Micah's past isn't done with him.
Meanwhile, the strange 'ghost' of a woman with damselfly wings whispers to Micah that only he can help magic return to the realm, and he fears she may be right . . .
Micah has much to learn, and he must do it quickly - before his past and future collide, with catastrophic consequences.©2025 Laura Lam

Critic reviews
With insightful and skillful writing, Lam vividly draws a tale like no other
Took me to an exotic and detailed world, peopled by characters that I'd love to be friends with . . . and some I'd never want to cross paths with
Set in a vividly imagined world with wonderful steampunk touches, Pantomime is a fable-like story as beautifully unique as its main character
Lam has created a world which will take your breath away, and characters you will never want to leave. Enchanting
Welcome to a world of shills and showmen, fading tech and circus freaks, where nothing and no-one is what it appears. An absorbing, accomplished debut
A lyrical, stunningly written debut novel, which set my heart racing with every lift of the trapeze. In Micah we have one of the most original - and likeable - protagonists I've read in a long time. An author to watch, without a doubt
Who hasn't dreamed off running off and joining the circus? Lam's Micah does just that, discovering a world of clowns and acrobats, con men and tricksters, corruption and incompetent doctors . . . I look forward to more from this author
Pantomime has long been one of my favorite queer reads that showed me how books could challenge the world's narrative. In this author's edition, Micah Grey shines on center stage with a twisting plot encased in stunning worldbuilding. Do not miss this series!
Micah Grey is sick to fuck of being shamed for being intersex by their nasty ass mother and forced to live as a high society debutante. After literally running away to join the circus, Micah trains as a trapeze artist and meets a whole cast of kooky & quirky side characters who make up the circus crew. While being spoken to by a spooky ghost voice that warns that a shadow is hunting them, Micah also finds themselves in a love triangle where, while posing as a man who plays a woman in a play, a guy who fancies them thinks they’re a girl, and a girl that fancies them thinks they’re a guy. Absolutely delicious chemistry going on here.
I loved this book. It’s a really cool and unique world, it’s Victorian Scotland, meets steampunk caraval, meets a magical menagerie. This book does not shy away from uncomfy things, it is a story about outsiders and others, but paired with ✨magic✨ and fancy gymnastic flippies.
Roll up, roll up! Come one come all to the most fucking cool steampunk circus you’ve ever read.
