5.0 out of 5 stars A Collection of Great Classic SF Bradbury Stories, March 5, 2009

This review is from: The Day it Rained Forever (Hardcover)

PS Publishing reissued this book and gave me an opportunity to read this collection, which is a very good one. This is classic old Bradbury and has many stories that have been adapted to television, chapbooks, comics and many other areas. Since the stories have been converted so many times I ended up have read a lot of these stories in other areas. But rereading them was a pleasure as many are classics.

Here There be Tygers, The Wonderful Ice-Cream Suit, Fever Dream, The Dragon, and The Smile are some standouts, and they are all different. One is a typical sf space story, another is a fantastical urban tale, a couple have horror elements, and one is a sf "what if?" possible future history.

This collection borders more on the science fiction and fantasy side of Bradbury over his dark tales, and is an easily recommend collection: classic stuff here.

Also I can't believe the only way you can get this book is through a small press, which is a shame. This book contains some of Bradbury's best work and should still be in print!
