Clockwork Dark series.
Ray, an orphan, winds up on a train peopled with traveling medicine show performers. He quickly learns the show is just cover; they're all determined to destroy the evil Gog. What distinguishes this fast-paced adventure is the nineteenth-century rural American setting, where both characters and circumstances are deeply influenced by regional folklore and the "hoodoo" traditions of the Deep South.
