Cabaret of Monsters is a prequel novella to the Creature Court dark fantasy trilogy.


Saturnalia in the glamorous city of Aufleur is a time of topsy-turvy revels, of the world turned upside down. The city's theatres produce an annual display of reversals and surprises. Women can transform into wolves. Even the rats are not what they seem.


Evie Inglirra has travelled to Aufleur to uncover the city's sinister secrets... but this newspaper reporter has secrets of her own. As she befriends the dazzling cabaret performers of the mysterious Vittorina Royale theatre, she falls under the spell of their most charismatic celebrities: songbird Livilla and the Stagemaster himself, a man some know as Poet.


Who is Garnet, and why is everyone so afraid of him? What is the secret society known as the Creature Court, and why do they live underneath the city?


Evie thought she wanted to learn the truth, but now she just wants to get out of Aufleur alive.


If you enjoy intrigue, LGBT characters and sumptuous detail, you'll adore this art deco shapeshifter fantasy novella.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Power and Majesty, Book 1 of the Creature Court:

"Clever, witty, and utterly heart-wrenching, this book sparkles even as it explores real darkness and the terrible consequences of seeking - or refusing - power." 



Stephanie Burgis, author of Masks and Shadows and Snowspelled



"I defy anyone to read the first chapter of this book and not be compelled to read on. A fantasy novel unlike anything I’d read before, Tansy Rayner Roberts’ Power and Majesty blew me away with its innovative world-building and memorable characters seven years ago, when I read it for the first time. I’ve just re-read it, and it remains fresh, immersive and staggeringly good." 



Glenda Larke, author of The Last Stormlord and The Lascar's Dagger.
