Stunning Folio edition.
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.
