From the author who was awarded the O. Henry Memorial Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, the World Fantasy Award for Lifetime Achievement, the Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, and the PEN Center USA West Lifetime Achievement Award,
One hundred of Ray Bradbury’s remarkable stories which have earned him a huge international audience and a reputation as the premier science-fiction and fantasy writer of our time. Here are the Martian stories, vividly animating the red planet with its brittle cities and double-mooned sky. Here are nostalgic stories of 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 are a feast for the imagination; read again – and again – they reveal new, dazzling facets of a master storyteller’s extraordinary art.
