Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Olympia Binewski did not grow up like other girls. For one, her parents were the owners of a traveling carnival. Lil and Al Binewski came up with a scheme to breed their own freak show, experimenting with a cocktail of drugs to create their perfect children. There's Oly herself, an albino hunchback dwarf; her brother Arty, who has flippers instead of human limbs and a sociopathic personality; her sisters Elly and Iphy, who are Conjoined Twins, and the youngest, Chick, who appears outwardly normal but has strange telepathic powers.Then things start to get downright disturbing. Very disturbing. Suffice it to say, this is not a book for anyone except those with the strongest of stomachs.Geek Love, written by Katherine Dunn, is a somewhat obscure book probably due to its polarizing effect with critics, who have called it either brilliant or repulsive and disgusting. Tim Burton has expressed a desire to adapt it for the screen, but whether or not that will ever happen is still up in the air.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Has a Character Page | |

Accomplice by Inaction: Elly often accuses Oly of being this to Arty and his many travesties, but the latter doesn't see it that way. | |

| Geek Love / int_a939d96a | comment |
Adults Are Useless: Al and Lil either don't know anything about their children's Sibling Rivalry, or don't do anything to stop them. Once Arty takes over, neither will stand up to him. | |

Abusive Parents | |
| Geek Love / int_b11ac9f5 | comment |
Abusive Parents: Oly loves her parents, but their treatment of her is up for debate. They make her feel inadequate for not being "special" enough, because her particular deformities aren't so marketable as those of her siblings. Then there's the whole issue of the parents deliberately taking drugs in order to create freakish, deformed children whom they could exploit. | |
