Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. This fine collection of Ray Bradbury short stories (is that a redundant statement?) was published in 1988, and includes 23 pieces written during that late-80s period. Many are anthologized here for the first time, so it’s a worthwhile addition for Bradbury collectors and fans. Subjects range from whimsy to fantasy to time travel to love stories to straight-up horror – and some are an amalgam of those genres that only Bradbury could pull off. Favorites include “Trapdoor”, which proves yet again that a good writer of horror can rise the hair on the reader’s neck without ever spilling a drop of blood; “The Love Affair”, which returns to the Martian Chronicles setting with a truly creepy tale; “At Midnight in the Month of June” is a skeevy follow-up to radbury’s classic “The Ravine”; and “One for His Lordship and One for the Road”, which is a whimsical set-up to an old shaggy-dog story, but Bradbury restrains himself from actually quoting the punchline. If you know the story, you’ll figure it out. If not, it’s still delightful. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
