Gypsy Hot Bloods
Ward Hall's New Novel
Now
available,
A novel written in 1961
deemed too racy for the
puritanical tastes of the
1960s,
GYPSY HOT BLOODS was
secreted away until a more
enlightened time.
This pulp masterwork
threatened the very fabric
of society with its honest
and in depth portrayal of
gay love, carny cons and
gypsy life.
Go behind the scenes and
learn the secret language of
itinerant entertainers. How
do gypsies scam the squares
on a carnival midway?
Is it possible for two men
to find love? Once born into
a gypsy tribe - can one
escape?
Ward Hall examines these
taboos and many more in his
first novel, GYPSY HOT
BLOODS. Working from
material gathered from a
lifetime spent on the
carnival midway, Ward pulls
out all the stops and tells
all in his gripping and
compelling first novel.
A must read for all fans of
carnival, gypsy lore and
pulp fiction.

Before the days of TV, DVDs,
and video games, there was
the circus. When it came to
town, businesses and schools
would shut down. Folks would
gather round, for there,
right in front of their
eyes, was drama, action, and
intrigue. There was the
grace of the bareback rider,
the daring of the acrobat,
the strangeness of the snake
lady, and the delight of the
dancing pigs.
Vintage-style circus posters
capture the weird and the
wonderful while fascinating
sidebars reveal historical
truths behind America’s
circuses. What was it like
when the circus came to
town? This book, illustrated
in rich oils, gives us a
ringside seat.
