Publisher Description
One of Ray Bradbury’s best-known and most popular novels, Something Wicked This Way Comes, now featuring a new introduction and material about its longstanding influence on culture and genre.
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. Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early. A calliope’s shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. 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 nightmares.
Few novels have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury’s unparalleled literary masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Scary and suspenseful, it is a timeless classic in the American canon.
Customer Reviews
Great book but poor pagination.
This is a great autumn read but as stated before, thus particular edition was poorly put together and filled with typos a more expensive edition will not contain.
Typos and formatting issues throughout.
Seems like an automated OCR or AI to text transfer from an unverified analog source completely unreviewed by an actual human. Ray Bradbury’s estate should take some action here.
I plan to explore refund options.
Love his writing style
A great read. Best in quite some time.
