Something Wicked This Way Comes
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Few American novels written this century have endured in the heart and mind as has this one. Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterwork of the dark fantastic. A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes and the stuff of nightmare.

- content: With his deep, gentle voice, Stefan Rudnicki lures the listener into this audiobook like the sirens of old. His vocal range and well-paced narration leave listeners trapped in a hypnotic trance as he juggles the dark mood of the story with the light and youthful vigor of protagonists Will Holloway and Jim Nightshade. The smoothness of Rudnicki's performance enhances this haunting tale of a fiendish carnival as it attempts to prey on a local town. With the help of Will's father, the heroes must defeat the evil machinations of the carnival without succumbing to its many temptations. Rudnicki sustains his energy for an encore performance, the bonus story, "A Sound of Thunder." L.E. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine

- content: Part fantasy, part allegory, Bradbury's mad ecstasy of words spews forth like a demented poem. Some listeners may find themselves swamped in the lush, expository verbiage, but Hecht's measured baritone keeps it all from running amok. Slowly he builds the menace of a carnival arriving in the night, with weird calliope music that transforms time itself. The tatooed director and his freaks emerge to lure customers to death, or worse. As Will and Jim follow their 13-year-old appetites of derring-do, Hecht uses a breathless falsetto of wonder and apprehension. In the wrong hands, the symbolism might have wilted into cartoonish platitudes. But Hecht's careful handling delivers the message with dignity. S.B.S. (c) AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine
