Something Wicked This Way Comes

By Ray Bradbury 

A few days before Halloween, the fair arrived in Green Town in the middle of the night, in a mysterious train. Jim and Will heard the song of the organ and the whistle of the train, they saw the fair land. Only witnesses of disturbing events, they know that she has dark designs. A carousel that, by turning backwards, reverses the course of time, the most beautiful woman in the world asleep in a block of ice, a man who has the power to grant the wildest wishes... these are the attractions of this nightmare fair.

Playing on the fears of adolescence, Bradbury mixes poetry and supernatural to drag us on a terrifying adventure.
