Julianna grew up in a foster home, mocked and shunned for her early childhood obsession with imaginary friends. At 15, she discovers a man is looking to adopt her. Terrified and mentally ill, she decides her only option is to run away. To escape. 
The next day, she wakes up on some dirty trail leading to what seems to be a circus. What does she find? Those imaginary friends she abandoned years ago. Except, they are real. They are all real kids like her who were suffering, so they escaped to the Lost Circus. Run by the mysterious Ringmaster, the kids enjoy their mostly worry-free life. Their only worry is avoiding the ghastly Nicole, a woman who for reasons unknown to them wishes to take them away from the circus. However, upon Julianna's arrival, this paradise begins to fall apart and our protagonist must discover the origin of this bizarre world and what parts of it are real.

Solaris by Kat-Marks
10 parts Ongoing Mature
Who would ever mourn someone like you? -- Priscilla Ridley has never known peace of mind. That is until a carousel appears outside of her home, there to whisk her away to Solaris, a circus rich in magic and dedicated to providing a safe haven to the lost or helpless. Priscilla finds herself quickly falling in love with her surroundings, captivated by the grandiose oddities Solaris has to provide. After years of nothing but heartache and trouble, Solaris is like a dream come true. Only, one should always be careful what they wish for. Solaris has a history steeped in secret and tragedy. It is far from the place it used to be, and even farther from the experience Priscilla was promised. Now trapped and with very few options, Priscilla must navigate the inner workings of the circus in order to win not only her freedom but the freedoms of everyone else around her. With no true way of knowing where true intentions lie, and no telling where truth ends and fiction begins, each decision is a gamble. One that very well may end in Priscilla becoming nothing but another name on the evergoing list of desecrated souls.

Caught between the forces of light and shadow, Iris must navigate a world where nothing is as it seems, and every choice could mean life or death for those she has come to care about.

Journey Back To Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder by AuthorJRyan
26 parts Complete Mature
Lying to avoid explaining the millions of conflicting emotions that dance inside, set aflame. Ringmaster is always unbalanced-not sure how to feel and heal. He never learned how to process despair, too busy to sit with the emotions, care for them, validate them. He pretends to be strong, pushes through the day because no one cares as much as he does. Now you can find out what it is like to survive yourself. In the mental breakdown state of her mind, the emotionally broken girl copes with life's hardships in a cognitive capacity of a modern non-traditional circus. Based on true-life events, my 73,459-word fiction novel is based on real experiences living with borderline personality disorder. A Journey Back to Me: Learning to live with Borderline Personality Disorder is where Ringmaster and the circus performers take the audience on an adventure through mental illness. My book takes place at Planet Janet, a fantasy circus in which the Ringmaster interacts with each performance while interweaving my personal experiences of coping and living with the daily struggles of depression, rage, anxiety, panic attacks, and relationships. Each performer at the circus has a specific act that correlates with how I dealt with each situation.
