The October Country by Ray Bradbury
3.0

-as with all short story anthologies, some of these were major hits and others were misses. others could have been good but kind of dated themselves, especiallllly with regards to women. there are times when i can potentially excuse misogynistic depictions of women, but bradbury ain't good enough to pull it off
-the stories that worked really did hit the nail on the head, and they were genuinely vibey and creepy and well-constructed. some of them felt a bit too self-referential or trying a bit too hard to be vibe-heavy. come on ray!
