“By the pricking of my thumbs … something wicked this way comes.”

Ray Bradbury has dramatized his literary classic, Something Wicked This Way Comes, into this first-class audio drama, produced by the Colonial Radio Theatre on the Air, complete with a full cast, sound effects, and original music.

"Cooger and Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show" comes to Greentown, Illinois, one week before Halloween. Two boys, Jim Nightshade and Will Halloway, soon discover the evil of this carnival, which promises to make your every wish and dream come true. But with those wishes and dreams comes a price that must be paid. Behind the mirrors and the mazes is the nightmare of a lifetime.

Few American novels written in the twentieth century have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury's unparalleled literary classic Something Wicked This Way Comes. For those who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The show is about to begin.

Kritikerstimmen

“One of the great classics of fantasy…A nightmarishly gripping page-turner.”

(SFSite.com)

“If rational beings had created the 100 best books of the century list, this one would surely have been on it.”

(Denver Rocky Mountain News)

“A dark fantasy set in a small town, its people are brought to life so expertly readers feel very much like citizens...Bradbury’s prose is musical and hypnotic, fully engaging the senses and emotions. This is a book, once opened, that truly makes the real world disappear.”

(Science Fiction Magazine)

“Spectacular.”

(Phil Nichols, Bradbury Media, United Kingdom)

I love Ray Bradbury's octoberish storys. I love audio dramatizations. And this is a seriously good one! It catches the time it's set in and it brings the story to life in a nicely artful way. I was especially impressed by the writing of the dialogue and by the boys' impersonations, as by the way the music supported the tale. I found big acting on the dad's part, too. I guess I like the story as much as I do because I am a dad, but I loved it even before - so much, that my wife gave my much perused copy a proper binding (accidently on the right side so it has to be read backward which is not the least bit more troubling than reading a japanese manga and suits the story well). If you liked the listen, wait a year or so and get the book. It leaves you shaken, feeling bad. Not like some books do but more than I'd expect from Bradbury, who could of course get quite dark rather easily.

A truly dark read turned into quite a dark listen
