Something Wicked This Way Comes

In this atmospheric novella, the Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show arrives in the quiet Illinois town of Green Town just before Halloween, bringing with it a seductive and sinister promise of youth regained. The carnival acts as a dark mirror to the community's anxieties, specifically targeting the elderly and the young. Two boys, Jim and Will, become entangled in the show's mazes and smoke, where they confront the heavy cost of their wishes and the terrifying reality of their own mortality.
