Shadow Show: All-New Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury by Sam Weller, Mort Castle
5.0
This is one of those rare anthologies where the good stories vastly outnumber the "meh" stories. Almost all of the stories in here are very evocative of the late Mr. Bradbury's work (although, at the time this came out, he was still alive)--except for Harlan Ellison's story, which I'll admit I didn't get (but then, I usually have a hard time with him) and just seems to be way out there somewhere.
In addition to Ellison's story, there is only one other story that I greeted with a "meh", and this was not because the story didn't pay off or anything like that; I just felt that "Two of a Kind" took way too long to get where it was going.
Still, 24 enjoyable stories out of 26 ain't bad. If you are a fan of Ray Bradbury--or just a fan of good writing, you should add this book to your collection.
