Something Wicked This Way Comes: A Novel
$16.77 online at Bookshop.org
One week before Halloween, Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show rolls into Green Town, Illinois. Thirteen-year-old best friends Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade watch the carnival tents solidify out of cloud and fog at three in the morning. Behind the calliope and freak-show banners, Mr. Dark, the Illustrated Man, and his partner Mr. Cooger prey on secret desires. Their carousel ages riders forward or backward. Townspeople vanish into temptation. Will's father, Charles, a library janitor haunted by feeling too old for his son, joins the boys as they learn that the carnival feeds on fear and despair. Bradbury's dark fantasy is a battle for souls fought with friendship, laughter, and the courage to refuse the easy ride out of childhood.
