God I love Bradbury! This one was so delightfully unexpected. I assumed going in that I’d be getting another classic Bradbury sci-fi novel. So imagine my surprise when instead I found myself in Cooger and Dark’s world of nightmares. The writing was so poetic, the descriptions deeply bone chilling, while still having childlike-wonder. I don’t know much horror history but I have to imagine this book is a big precursor/inspiration for many modern stories.
