To-do list for Something Wicked This Way Comes (novel): edit · history · watch · refresh · Updated 2012-03-06

  • Improve the article into at least a Good article:
    • Find more professional sources on the novel (since they seem to be hard to come by)
    • Expand the analysis/themes and criticism sections with proper source back-up
    • Improve the writing of the plot summary section - the writing is difficult to follow and there are errors.

Is this in the Horror genre. Its a wierd book!

Hard to teach it

I am having the hardest time trying to get my students to get into the book. But I am plowing through the complaints and the hardship. I believe that this book has a good story line but the students haven't given it a chance. 6 January 2006

Okay, what age are your students? 31 March 2006

Perhaps if you ran the Disney movie for them, they might be more interested. It's a shame that a good book can't stand on its own, but you do what you have to do. — Walloon 18:43, 31 March 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Don't forget to sign your posts with a dash and four tildas "~".

Cover art

Let's have a vote about which cover to display in this article: the cover by Joe Mugnaini, or the more recent paperback. I'll start off with a vote for that wonderful painting by Mugnaini. The way he works so many different perspectives — the distant train and bridge seen in profile, the startling thrust of the tower, the observant medium distance view of the neighborhood with that shadow approaching on the lower right. How he integrates the title and author into the artwork. And I seriously want a weather vane like like that on my house! — Walloon 19:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Will and Jim's age

I'm correcting Will and Jim's age from twelve to "on the verge of fourteen." From the Prologue:

One year Halloween came on October 24, three hours after midnight.
At that time, James Nightshade of 97 Oak Street was thirteen years eleven months, twenty-three days old. Next door, William Halloway was thirteen years, eleven months, and twenty-four days old. Both touched toward fourteen; it almost trembled in their hands.
