Few American novels written this century have endured in th
heart and mind as has this one-Ray Bradbury's incomparable
masterwork of the dark fantastic. A carnival rolls in
sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern
October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A
calliope's shrill siren song 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 inquisitive boys
standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon
discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke,
mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy
cost of wishes -- and the stuff of nightmare.
