This was the first collection where I had problems with misogyny and other discriminatory elements, mostly in the first few stories. However I really enjoyed some of the later stories and overall how Bradbury is able to make dark content so cozy.

Ray Bradbury at his best, with spooky and sometimes unnerving stories about people and places. It's a long time since I have read Bradbury, and these stories did not disappoint. Engrossing, short stories that you can pick up and read when you need to fill in some time, although some may not be ideal to read at bedtime, lol.
