Few American novels written this century have endured in th heart and
mind as has this one-Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterwork of the dark
fantastic. A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on 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. In this season of dying, 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 smoke, mazes,
and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes -- and
the stuff of nightmare.
We will be meeting November 3 to discuss!
