Zen in the Art of Writing: Releasing the Creative Genius Within You
Ray Bradbury
Bantam
, 1992
Forget Writing Seminars and Read This Book
Having taught writing for twenty years, publishing four novels along the way, I regard this as the bible on the craft of writing. Bradbury's advice to have fun and let one's fingers play across the keyboard, letting enthusiasm and a love of words govern the composing ...
Something Wicked This Way Comes
Ray Bradbury
Eos
, 1999
A Lyrical Journey Through the Essence of Good and Evil
This is Bradbury's finest novel, in my opinion. All of Bradbury's fiction is lyrical in nature, but in this work his prose flows quickly and magically from the first page to the last. The book is closer to horror than sci-fi, but I regard it as simply a great ...
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
Del Rey
, 1987
Fahrenheit 451 probably one of the most important books written
A standard in the dystopian utopia that Brave New World and 1984 also capture, this is the third in a triad of phenomenal dystopian books written that everyone should read. While banned in some jurisdictions, the idea of book burning and reading being illegal is still ...
The Illustrated Man (Grand Master Editions)
Ray Bradbury
Spectra
, 1983
Classic collection by the legendary Bradbury
Ray Bradbury is always a delight. While I'm a huge fan of his (sparse few) novels, it's impossible to deny that where he really shines is in his copious short works. He is, in my opinion, one of the 20th Century's great short story writers. The Illustrated Man ...
The Halloween Tree
Ray Bradbury
Yearling
, 1999
The is no one better than Brabbury at evoking bizarre and detailed imagery
When it comes to using words to evoke bizarre and stimulating imagery, there is no one better than Ray Bradbury. This book is an adventure conducted by young male trick-or-treaters on a spooky Halloween night. They walk up to the door of the local haunted house and ...
Bradbury Stories: 100 of His Most Celebrated Tales
Ray Bradbury
Harper Perennial
, 2005
An Outstanding Collection, Indeed
Re: Mr Deusner's review from September 12, 2003, "but where are "The Scythe," "The Crowd," and "Homecoming" from THE OCTOBER COUNTRY? What happened to "The Picasso Summer" and (a personal favorite) "Some Live Like Lazarus"?" Those are in "The Stories of Ray ...
Dandelion Wine
Ray Bradbury
William Morrow
, 1999
Summer School Book Talk
I taught summer school this year, and I use this to "break the ice." We listened to the chapter about buying new shoes as a summer tradition and how "new shoes would make [him] run faster." Dandelion Wine is more memoire, although it has some elements of fantasy in ...
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
Blackstone Audiobooks
, 2005
Written in the basement of the UCLA library
I do not want to tell much of the story, as the unfolding is part of the intrigue. However now that houses are fire proof the purpose of firemen is performing a service by burning books to maintain the happy social order. Naturally one fireman goes awry after ...
Fahrenheit 451
Ray Bradbury
HarperVoyager
, 2004
A must read for everyone
This book should be on everyones bookshelves and should be required reading for every middle school student. Instead we force rot our children's brains with Harry Potter nonsense along with other books of fluff and non substance. Farenheit 451 might be science fiction ...
The Martian Chronicles (The Grand Master Editions)
Ray Bradbury
Spectra
, 1984
A great indroduction to Bradbury's work.
Ray Bradbury is a timeless author. His storytelling borders on poetic. The Martian Chronicles was the first book of his I had ever read. After 15 years I just completed my second reading and am no less moved by his work. A lot is accomplished in this short work of ...
Now and Forever: Somewhere a Band Is Playing & Leviathan '99
Ray Bradbury
Harper
, 2008
An exquisite storyteller
The two stories in NOW AND FOREVER are not new. In fact, "Somewhere a Band Is Playing" was begun over 40 years ago. "Leviathan '99" began life as a radio play script that was never produced as television started to grow. Aged though they may be, this is the first they ...
The October Country
Ray Bradbury,
Joe Mugnaini
William Morrow
, 1999
read and reread
A gem. Thematically, the stories are not all that close, but they have great suspense, drama, interesting characters. Memorable.
Zen in the Art of Writing: Essays on Creativity
Ray Bradbury
Joshua Odell Editions
, 1994
Soul Transfusion
This book is like getting a transfusion. Not of blood, but of Ray Bradbury's enthusiasm. His motto was "Exactly one-half terror, one-half exhilaration." Well, this book takes out the terror of writing, and leaves us with pure exhilaration. Even if you are not a ...
A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories
Ray Bradbury
Harper Perennial
, 1998
Intriguing
Wow- this book is a creative, intelligent, easy-to-understand treasure! Each story is about 5-25 pages, some are shorter than others. They are not all alike, so you are guaranteed to like at least a few, but it is hard to believe that someone might not like most of ...
The Dark Descent
Clive Barker
, Ray Bradbury, ...

Multitudinous tome for the horror and preternatural aficionado
