Something Wicked This Way Comes

Описание и характеристики

 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.
