Synopsis "Something Wicked This way Comes"

One of Ray Bradbury's best-known and most popular novels, Something Wicked This Way Comes, now featuring a new introduction and material about its longstanding influence on culture and genre. For those who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The show is about to begin. Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. Two boys will discover the secret of its smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon know all too well the heavy cost of wishes...and the stuff of nightmares. Few novels have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury's unparalleled literary masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Scary and suspenseful, it is a timeless classic in the American canon.

Ray Bradbury nació el 22 de agosto de 1920 en Waukegan, Illinois, Estados Unidos. Durante la Gran Depresión se trasladó con su familia a Los Ángeles, donde se graduó en 1938 en Los Angeles High School. Su educación académica acabó ahí, pero continuó formándose por cuenta propia hasta que en 1943 se convirtió en escritor profesional. Sus obras más conocidas son «Crónicas marcianas» (1950), «El hombre ilustrado» (1951) y «Fahrenheit 451» (1953). Bradbury , además de novelas, también ha escrito innumerables guiones de televisión, ensayos y poemas. Su preocupación como escritor no solo se centra en cuestionarse el modo de vida actual, también se adentra en el reino de lo fantástico y maravilloso, con un estilo poético y a veces provocativo. En su niñez, Bradbury fue muy propenso a las pesadillas y horribles fantasías, que acabó por plasmar en sus relatos muchos años después.
