Something Wicked This Way Comes

This masterpiece of fantastic fiction will stir and stretch your imagination. Legendary storyteller Ray Bradbury weaves together dreams and nightmares, childhood memories and fantasies, to create this darkly poetic, magical tale of two boys encountering evil secrets.
Best friends Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade know there’s something odd in the late October air. It all begins when a lightning rod salesman appears one evening and insists that they take one of his contraptions covered with mystical protection symbols. Later, the boys look on as an eerie carnival rolls into town, and mysterious and sinister events take place. But what they witness on the carousel is enough to send them running.
Generations of readers have been seduced by Ray Bradbury’s timeless imagination and fascinating metaphors. The rich prose of this Bradbury classic is enhanced by Paul Hecht’s resonant, articulate voice. Hecht’s narration evokes the novel’s delicious blend of dread and wonder.
