Something Bad Is Coming: A Story

A traveling circus arrives in the quiet town of Greentown, Illinois (hello, Dandelion Wine) on an autumn night before a thunderstorm, under the merciless howling of the wind. So when dwarfs, skeletons and witches arrange huge marches to a piercing funeral melody played backwards, know that something evil is coming!
This year, Halloween in the town will begin a week earlier... But not the one with children in costumes and candy, but completely, completely different... The sinister secrets of this midnight carnival will touch everyone and everyone. And especially - two teenage friends and their elderly librarian father, who very soon learn the high price of desires and... nightmares.
Soon they will face an unheard-of and ancient, as the world, evil. Not everyone will have the strength to go through the Mirror Labyrinths of their Past and Future. Not everyone can ride the merry-go-round without losses, which winds and unwinds the years…
"Something Evil Approaches" is a creepy and tense novel that has become a classic of American literature. It is a story about dangerous games with time, about true friendship and its hardening by temptations, about parental love and sincere joy, which is hidden even in the most tired souls.
