Something Wicked This Way Comes

The carnival arrives after midnight, heralding an early Halloween with the enchanting call of a calliope, promising dreams and lost youth. In this season of decay, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show descends upon Green Town, Illinois, bringing with it a strange and sinister mystery that threatens to ruin every life it touches. Two boys will uncover the secrets hidden within its smoke, mazes, and mirrors, only to learn the heavy price of their wishes and the nightmarish truths that accompany them. Few American novels of this century resonate as deeply in memory as this literary classic. For those who still dream and remember, and for those yet to experience its hypnotic dark poetry, the invitation is clear: step inside, for the show is about to begin.
