Product details
Described by Bradbury himself as the book he loved ‘best of all the things I have written’, Something Wicked This Way Comes is a timeless classic of fantasy horror. For this lavishly illustrated collector’s edition, Tim McDonagh has provided seven colour illustrations dripping with carnivalesque menace. The eerie inhabitants of Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show are lit with the gaudy yellow and red lights of the funfair, while Mr Dark leers from the midst of his attractions, the faces of his victims tattooed across his palms. Like Bradbury’s prose, the images in this special Folio edition invite the reader to venture a little deeper into that dark tent, promising wonders and horrors and everything in between. Comedian and actor Frank Skinner lists the book as amongst his favourites, and in his incisive and affectionate introduction written for this edition he examines the many delicious flavours of fear in a novel layered with meaning and portents.‘The finished book is a thing of beauty. I find myself cradling it and running my fingers across its sweet pages. The illustrations combine the garish colours of the carnival with the disturbing images of nightmare and, thus, exactly mirror the unsettling mood of the book.’Frank Skinner

This was a gift for my niece who is a published author in her own right. She loved the colour of the binding and the superb illustrations. It's one of her favourite stories apparently!

I haven't read Ray Bradbury before, this was an excellent introduction. A horror story that truly got under my skin, unnerving and believable, a really enjoyable example of this genre.

"Value" is a judgement; you either like it or you don't. I just like the quality of the books they produce.

Beautiful book replaces a very, very tattered paperback. A very strange story which I have loved for almost 50 years. It was time to read it again.
