Something Wicked This Way Comes

This started as a Halloween read that took too long to get off the ground. The prose is at times unintelligible as it takes up to an entire page to describe a carousel and using metaphors that are quite odd on the regular. It didn't really get exciting until I was 60% of the way through the book, but it did hit a good clip until about 90% when it slowed down again. All in all, it was not worth the read and I'm not sure what the hype is about. Perhaps people found different things scary in the 40s? But the scariest part of this book was that one of the men had tattoos, which was mentioned approximately 400 times.
