The October Country by Ray Bradbury
4.0
4.75/5
Wow! I didn't know what to expect and having not read any Bradbury before, I was a little worried that the pace of the story would not keep my attention. However, I had seen this book recommended on so many fall reading lists so I decided to check it out. The book happened to be free on audible and I figured that the short story format would keep my interest piqued.
I had an incredible time listening to this book! The prose was descriptive and compelling. Each story crafted their own little world that I could be immersed in for 30-45 mins. Some stories were definitely more interesting than others. My favorites were 'The Next in Line', 'The Small Assassin', and 'There Was an Old Woman'.
I definitely recommend this book to first-time Bradbury readers and veterans, alike. A perfect book to jump in and out of during spooky season as the need for cozy macabre tales arises.
