A review by mewinig7
A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories by Ray Bradbury

5.0

The ones I’d consider 5 stars:

In a Season of Calm Weather — my personal favorite, with a lovely artist who can’t help but create

The Town Where No One Got Off — atmospheric and creepy

A Scent of Sarsaparilla — frightening in its loveliness, and vice versa

The First Night of Lent — CHARACTERS

The Time of Going Away — the right amount of legend with the right amount of realness

All Summer In a Day — the most beautiful of the space stories

Pillar of Fire — bad people doing bad things, therefore very enjoyable

Zero Hour — always listen to your kids, folks

The Man — unexpectedly intriguing

The Trolley — nostalgia in every carefully painted leaf, and I love it dearly

Icarus Montgolfier Wright — so many of the greatest artists are obsessed with flight. This story feels like listening to them all
