Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show crept into town late one night to the eerie whine of a calliope. In the fearful days that followed, a schoolteacher suddenly became a little girl and a rosy-cheeked boy became a wizened Methuselah. It was Jim and Will, two boys who first stumbled into the grisly secrets of the Show - the wax museum of living people, the strange mirror that stole the souls. But it was not until they had actually become part of its evil seductions that they discovered the most awful secret of all..(Back Cover, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury, c.1982, Bantam Books).
