Ray Bradbury

Two boys' lives are changed forever when a sinister travelling carnival stops at their Illinois town.

Mars was a distant shore, and the men spread upon it in waves... Each wave different, and each wave stronger. The Martian Chronicles Ray Bradbury is a storyteller without peer, a poet of the possible, and, indisputably, one of America's most beloved authors. In a much-celebrated literary career that has spanned six decades, he has produced an astonishing body of work: unforgettable novels, including Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes;...

The Stories of Ray Bradbury--a hundred of his best stories, selected by the author himself--is the definitive collection of one of the greatest fantasists the world has ever known. Published in 1980, the volume contains stories selected from the first four decades of Bradbury's career.

Welcome to a land Ray Bradbury calls "the Undiscovered Country" of his imagination--that vast territory of ideas, concepts, notions and conceits where the stories you now hold were born. America's premier living author of short fiction, Bradbury has spent many lifetimes in this remarkable place--strolling through empty, shadow-washed fields at midnight; exploring long-forgotten rooms gathering dust behind doors bolted years ago to keep strangers locked...

You could hear the voices murmuring, small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body. A peerless American storyteller, Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. The Illustrated Man is classic Bradbury- eighteen startling visions of humankind's destiny, unfolding across a canvas of decorated skin. In this phantasmagoric sideshow, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, Martian invasions are foiled...

Ray Bradbury, the undisputed Dean of American storytelling, dips his accomplished pen into the cryptic inkwell of noir and creates a stylish and slightly fantastical tale of mayhem and murder set among the shadows and the murky canals of Venice, California, in the early 1950s.

The incomparable Ray Bradbury is in the driver's seat, off on twenty-one unforgettable excursions through fantasy, time and memory, and there are surprises waiting around every curve and behind each mile marker. The journey promises to be a memorable one.

A new collection of never-before-published stories, in which Bradbury explores the myriad ways to be reborn, the circumstances that can make any man a killer, and returns us to Mars.

A LITTLE JOURNEY (August 1951) marks Bradbury's final contribution to the editorial decade of Horace Gold, the editor of GALAXY magazine. Like THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES and THE FIREMAN, the story demonstrates Bradbury's characteristic blending so early in his career of the sentimental and the transcendent, the homely and the mystical. Bradbury's old women in space and their strange outcome are reminiscent of his more famous story KALEIDOSCOPE (published...

He had been born on a mad, impossible world! Sun-blasted by day, cold-wracked by night-his was a life condensed by radiation into eight days! Sim eyed the Ship-if he only dared reach it and escape! But, it was more than half an hour distant, the limit of life itself! He had only one chance. Was he courageous enough to try and strong enough to succeed? Ray Bradbury was one of science fiction and fantasy's all-time greats!
