À propos de cet audio
For those who still dream and remember, for those yet to experience the hypnotic power of its dark poetry, step inside. The show is about to begin. Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. The carnival rolls in sometime after midnight, ushering in Halloween a week early. A calliope’s shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. Two boys will discover the secret of its smoke, mazes, and mirrors; two friends who will soon know all too well the heavy cost of wishes…and the stuff of nightmares.
Few novels have endured in the heart and memory as has Ray Bradbury’s unparalleled literary masterpiece Something Wicked This Way Comes. Scary and suspenseful, it is a timeless classic in the American canon.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Combining his unpretentious style with the rhythms and tones of 1940s radio, actor Paul Giamatti smoothly creates the uniquely American feel of Ray Bradbury’s 1962 classic dark fantasy. It’s a week before Halloween, ominous clouds have gathered, and The Cooger and Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to town. Only Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade, two 13-year-old best friends, seem to notice that the carnival rides, mirror maze, and magical carousel might mean big trouble for the good citizens of Green Town, Illinois. The tension in Giamatti’s voice appropriately heightens as the boys take on the awful specters of the Illustrated Man, the Skeleton Man, and Mr. Electrico. A thunderous swirling concoction of boyhood adventure, nostalgia, and modern horror delivered by a consummate actor."
One piece of feedback: the audio levels vary during more intense dialogue, which can be slightly frustrating. Admittedly, I'm hyper sensitive to this so it's a probably a non issue for most (I typically listen while winding down for bed). Overall, it's still a 5/5.
It's about time!
