| Publisher Description: One hundred of Ray Bradbury's remarkable stories which have, together with his classic novels, earned him an immense international audience and his place among the most imaginative and enduring writers of our time. Here are the Martian stories, tales that vividly animate the red planet, with its brittle cities and double-mooned sky. Here are the stories that speak of a special nostalgia for Green Town, Illinois, the perfect setting for a seemingly cloudless childhood--except for the unknown terror lurking in the ravine. Here are the Irish stories and the Mexican stories, linked across their separate geographies by Bradbury's astonishing inventiveness. Here, too, are thrilling, terrifying stories--including "The Veldt" and "The Fog Horn"--perfect for reading under the covers. Read for the first time, these stories become as unshakable as one's own fantasies. Read again--and again--they reveal new, dazzling facets of the extraordinary art of Ray Bradbury. |
