The Unholy Three

"A tall man in the crowd lifted the little boy in his arms till the child’s face was nearly on a level with Tweedledee’s. The dwarf glowered at it, and clenched his hands. Surely the spring was giving way at last. All the wires began to tremble at once. How he hated this thing that was pushed at him! – this stupid little beast with sticky hands and dirty face, with staring eyes and drooping lips – this disgusting caricature of himself."

A gripping tale of desire, deception, and murder, from the pen of Tod Robbins, the author of the short story "Spurs," which was the original inspiration for Tod Browning's cult film FREAKS.
