Join us as we discuss Ray Bradbury's coming of age story Something Wicked This Way Comes. Bradbury uses the backdrop of a small town in Illinois with a traveling carnival that entices two teenagers with all of its attractions and curiosities. The carnival will ultimately imprison you in your own fears, and these boys must use their cunning, and ultimately the power of friendship, love, and laughter to vanquish the evil. One main theme is age, and ones desire to be older and more mature, or younger and more able-bodied depending on which side of the age pendulum you swing. If you're looking for a creepy autumnal read, this book is right up your alley.
