Shadow Show: Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury by Sam Weller

5.0

This is a collection of short stories by some fine writers influenced by the inimitable and sorely missed Ray Bradbury . I savored these stories and was sorry to come to the end of them! As a lifelong Bradbury fan, I found these stories to be witty, chilling, stretching, beautiful, haunting, terrifying, and most of all imaginative -- the greatest of all Bradbury traits. One added pleasure is the author's notes after each one, which often refer back to RB stories that either directly or indirectly influenced the story at hand. So now I have reason to go back and delve into the master's work with new appreciation. You don't have to be a sci-fi fan to love Bradbury -- he is much larger than that simplistic label -- or to appreciate these stories by his heirs.
