Something Wicked This Way Comes

fullDescription

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes.

The carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour of a chill Midwestern October eve. Ushering in Halloween a week before its time, a calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. Young boyhood companions James Nightshade and Will Halloway are the first to heed its call. From a place of safety, they watch a midway come to spectral life, their emotions a riot of eagerness, trepidation, bravado, and uncertainty. For they can sense the change that's in the air; that this is the Autumn in which innocence must vanish in the harsh, acrid smoke of disillusionment...and horror.

Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's mazes and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes and the stuff of nightmares.

All those who still dream and remember—and those who have heard the whispering but have yet to experience its dark, poetic power—you are welcome. A shadow show like none other is about to begin...again.

1. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: With his deep, gentle voice, Stefan Rudnicki lures the listener into this audiobook like the sirens of old. His vocal range and well-paced narration leave listeners trapped in a hypnotic trance as he juggles the dark mood of the story with the light and youthful vigor of protagonists Will Holloway and Jim Nightshade. The smoothness of Rudnicki's performance enhances this haunting tale of a fiendish carnival as it attempts to prey on a local town. With the help of Will's father, the heroes must defeat the evil machinations of the carnival without succumbing to its many temptations. Rudnicki sustains his energy for an encore performance, the bonus story, "A Sound of Thunder." L.E. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
2. • premium: True
   • source:
   • content: Part fantasy, part allegory, Bradbury's mad ecstasy of words spews forth like a demented poem. Some listeners may find themselves swamped in the lush, expository verbiage, but Hecht's measured baritone keeps it all from running amok. Slowly he builds the menace of a carnival arriving in the night, with weird calliope music that transforms time itself. The tatooed director and his freaks emerge to lure customers to death, or worse. As Will and Jim follow their 13-year-old appetites of derring-do, Hecht uses a breathless falsetto of wonder and apprehension. In the wrong hands, the symbolism might have wilted into cartoonish platitudes. But Hecht's careful handling delivers the message with dignity. S.B.S. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
