ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury tells the story of two inseparable thirteen-year-old boys, Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, living in a quiet Illinois town. Their ordinary October is disrupted by the ominous arrival of Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show, a sinister carnival that materializes late one night. As the days of the carnival unfold, the boys begin to sense a dark and otherworldly presence that preys on the secret desires of the townsfolk, offering twisted versions of their dreams. The narrative explores themes of good versus evil, the loss of innocence, the allure of temptation, and the power of friendship and love in the face of supernatural darkness. The boys must confront the eerie forces at play to protect themselves and their town from the carnival's malevolent influence.
