Review:
A masterpiece of modern Gothic literature, Something Wicked This Way Comes is the memorable story of two boys, James Nightshade and William Halloway, and the evil that grips their small Midwestern town with the arrival of a "dark carnival" one Autumn midnight. How these two innocents, both age 13, save the souls of the town (as well as their own), makes for compelling reading on timeless themes. What would you do if your secret wishes could be granted by the mysterious ringmaster Mr. Dark? Bradbury excels in revealing the dark side that exists in us all, teaching us ultimately to celebrate the shadows rather than fear them. In many ways, this is a companion piece to his joyful, nostalgia-drenched Dandelion Wine, in which Bradbury presented us with one perfect summer as seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old. In Something Wicked This Way Comes, he deftly explores the fearsome delights of one perfectly terrifying, unforgettable autumn. --Stanley Wiater

Unknown publication date. 2nd printing of 2006 edition. Fantasy Masterworks Series I (#49):- Synopsis: It was just after midnight when the carnival train bringing Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show to Green Town, Illinois announced its arrival, the engine's whistle shrieking, the show's steam organ playing. For two young friends, Jim Nightshade and Will Halloway, the siren call of the carnival is irresistible. But these are no ordinary sideshows, no ordinary mazes and mirrors. In Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterpiece the Shadow Show has come to destroy every life it touches with its sinister mysteries:- Review(s): "I believe that 'Something Wicked This Way Comes', a darkly poetic tale, is probably Bradbury's best work. He carries his story off with guts and beauty and panache" - Stephen King / "Ray Bradbury's most poignant evocation of the hopes and frustrations of small-town life" - The Encyclopedia Of Fantasy / "One of our eminent dreamers. The Hans Christian Anderson of the jet age" - Brian W Aldiss:- (original cost £6.99). Seller Inventory # 17.999.00087
