Something Wicked is about a creepy carnival that comes to town in October. The centerpiece of the carnival is a carousel. When it goes forward, the rider ages rapidly. When the carousel goes backwards, the rider gets younger. Rapidly. For me, this novel was tedious, and the language which was very poetic and created wonderful images really did slow me down.
I'll keep this short. Horror and thrillers aren't my genres and as such, I didn't really enjoy reading this book. I did find one of the father's observations on aging interesting. And I liked the way the relationship between one of the boys and his father developed over the novel.
I'm glad I stuck with it. I'm looking forward to dressing up as The Illustrated Man for our costumed book club meeting this Wednesday evening. But as for a review or a recommendation, I'm not going to bore you.
