Classic Bradbury - Tales that will enchant, seduce, and terrify.
This is classic Bradbury, one of the great writers of Science Fiction and Fantasy. Although the stories were written decades ago, they have a timeless quality to them. This is Bradbury at his scariest; a number of the stories in here are very unsettling - in a good way. Here's the forward Bradbury wrote for the book: "OCTOBER COUNTRY ...that country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain..."Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
