The Dark Carnival

Ray Bradbury made a quiet revolution in the horror and mysticism genre. He placed evil in cozy American towns. Without «The Dark Carnival», there would be no «It» by Stephen King and «Coraline» by Neil Gaiman. Welcome to the carnival! Here Mr. Harris dreams of getting rid of his skeleton. A baby tries to kill its mother and father. Aunt Tildy battles death. Meanwhile, the Elliot family prepares to celebrate Halloween in an old Gothic mansion. All the numerous relatives are invited: vampires, werewolves, and other unclean beings. Will there be a place for Timmy, the only ordinary child in the family, at this celebration? You will enjoy this book if you have watched the series «Stranger Things», «It: Welcome to Derry», and «Twin Peaks».
