Few American novels written this century have endured in the 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 and 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 rare show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes, and the stuff of nightmare. A gorgeous hardcover edition of a true and enduring classic of American literature, featuring a new after word by the author. 650 0 $a Boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Male friendship $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Fathers and sons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Carnival $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Illinois $v Fiction. 655 0 $a Fantasy fiction. 655 0 $a Bildungsromans. 655 0 $a Horror tales. 941 $a 12 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611021342.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722032022.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20210204013523.0 952 $l NPPA983 $d 20201013105352.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20201013080036.0 952 $l MVPA943 $d 20201013073314.0 952 $l ETPD745 $d 20201013042517.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20170927010118.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20170728024939.0 952 $l VSSX062 $d 20170603014237.0 952 $l HBPB755 $d 20160602020037.0 952 $l OUAX845 $d 20100301073843.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3888A0986C0511DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOTInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
