The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering
in Halloween a week early. The shrill siren song of a
calliope beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams
and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger &
Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town,
Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and
sinister mystery. And two boys will discover the secret of
its smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon
know all too well the heavy cost of wishes. . .and the
stuff of nightmare.
Few American novels written this century have endured in
the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury's unparalleled
literary classic SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. For those
who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience
the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The
show is about to begin.The carnival rolls in sometime after
