Reviews"An author whose fanciful imagination, poetic prose, and mature understanding of human character have won him an international reputation." -- New York Times "One of this country's most beloved writers...A great storyteller, sometimes even a mythmaker, a true American classic." -- Washington Post "Without Ray Bradbury there would be no Stephen King, at least as he grew. Bradbury was one of my nurturing influences. First in EC Comics, then in Weird Tales... What was striking was how far down the viscera he was able to delve into these stories--how far beyond the prudish stopped-point of his 1940s contemporaries. In that sense, Ray was to the horror story what D.H. Lawrence was to the story of sexual love." -- Stephen King "How I passed so much of my life without devouring everything Ray Bradbury has ever read is beyond me...on the bright side, how fortunate I am to experience all this for the first time! My God." -- R. F. Kuang "A prescient, lyrical writer with an abiding hatred for intolerance, Bradbury influenced generations of readers and many of our most famous dreamers, from Stephen King to Steven Spielberg." -- Junot Diaz
