An incantation from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, the title of Ray Bradbury’s landmark tale of supernatural suspense could be a tagline for Stranger Things. Teens Will and Jim are excited when ‘Cooger & Dark’s Pandemonium Shadow Show’ comes to town in advance of Halloween. Then things start getting strange. Like the timewarp carousel scene in Stranger Things, this book features Will and Jim witnessing the show’s ringleader Cooger riding backwards on the merry-go-round, and turning into a boy of their own age. Intrigued, they follow him out of the carnival and into a world of increasingly bizarre events and curious characters. Things are never what they seem, in Hawkins or Green Town, Illinois, where Will Halloway and Jim Nightshade find themselves lost in a maze of mirrors, their wishes transformed into nightmares, their dreams invaded by a ‘Dust Witch’. You may find your dreams invaded, too.
