false 248596 47 A masterpiece of modern Gothic literature, <I>Something Wicked This Way Comes</I> 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 <I>you</I> 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 <I>Dandelion Wine</I>, in which Bradbury presented us with one perfect summer as seen through the eyes of a 12-year-old. In <I>Something Wicked This Way Comes</I>, he deftly explores the fearsome delights of one perfectly terrifying, unforgettable autumn. <I>--Stanley Wiater</I> 1183550 1962 Something Wicked This Way Comes total:8510|5:2626|4:3280|3:2027|2:449|1:128| 8510 33357 11408 640 5 29 false false Tue Sep 25 07:19:19 -0700 2007 Wed Mar 12 06:14:20 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 5 false false Mon Jul 09 12:14:39 -0700 2007 Mon Jul 09 12:21:31 -0700 2007 more...]]> 3 5 false false Thu Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue Jun 12 11:48:29 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 12 11:49:00 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 3 false false Wed Mar 30 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Thu Jul 17 07:32:38 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 17 07:33:04 -0700 2008
