One of the most intriguing facts about Morgenstern is that she has written just one book. She is an author as well as a multimedia artist. The book is called “The Night Circus” and was indeed a success. The story is of the fantasy genre and revolves around a magical circus that appears unalarmed at night. It is full of breathtaking amazements, however, it is only open at night. The story also discusses the duel between two fierce magicians Celia and Marco, but they’re not aware that this is a game only one can win, what’s more, the carnival is the ideal spot to test their capacities.

Just like most stories the two ended up falling in love with one another. A deep true sense of love that makes the lights flicker at the slightest touch. The kind of love that wraps a room in its warmth. Nevertheless, they have to play the game, and one winner must come out. Not only does this game involve Celia’s and Marco’s fate but it involves the fate of a handful of people from the group of incredible performers to the most talented acrobats. This book does a wonderful job of making the reader escape into a magical world, making you eager to imagine what if such a thing exists, would you ever be able to experience it. Morgenstern along with writing a book also participated in micro fiction. She writes short stories with briefer lines and images that are accessible on her website.
