Ray Bradbury

tabauth1.gif (1202 bytes)

Bradbury’s science fiction is like nothing else. His closest to pure SF is Fahrenheit 451, but most of his books, even those with apparent science fiction content like The Martian Chronicles and The Illustrated Man, veer into fantasy. He’s at his best when conjuring up the fears and delights of small town boyhood – as in the wonderful Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Fahrenheit 451 - Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
One of the few science fiction novels taken seriously by the literary types, F451 has a haunting quality like all Bradbury's best work. In his cosy totalitarian future, firemen cause fires, not put them out. Houses are fireproof: their job is to burn books. But what happens when a fireman, tired of the full-wall TV, starts to read and becomes obsessed with a woman who knows about books?

The Martian Chronicles - Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
One of Bradbury's best known books, yet one of his least approachable. The trouble with TMC is that it's written as if it's science fiction, but it's really fantasy. The Mars that features in these often unlinked short stories is more a place of our dreams than physical reality. As usual, there's plenty of examination of the nature of human longing. Worth getting into.

The Illustrated Man - Visit bookstore
A wonderful conceit: a tattooed man whose tattoos come alive, each telling a different story. Without this linking theme this would still be an excellent collection, ranging from the loneliness of space, to the savagery of children, but the theme gives it an extra something.

Something Wicked This Way Comes - Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
The ultimate Bradburyian tale on the edge of horror, whimsy and fantasy - a must-have. When Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show comes to town, the life of two boys will never be the same. Has all the best qualities of a nightmare. Only beaten for concentrated atmosphere by the works of Gene Wolfe.

Vintage Bradbury - Visit bookstore Visit bookshop
One of Ray Bradbury's specialities is the piquant short story - and this is about his best general collection. Go for it!
