13 Books to Read If You Can't Get Enough of Hocus Pocus

Published in 1962, Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes is a certified classic for good reason. Set just days before Halloween, the book follows two 13-year-old boys, Jim Nightshade and William Halloway, as they encounter a sinister carnival. The story is full of genuinely scary moments, but much like Hocus Pocus, it's also a nostalgic look at the waning days of childhood and the power of friendship.
