"What do you imagine when you hear the name" . . . Bradbury?,You might see rockets to Mars. Or bizarre circuses where otherworldly acts whirl in the center ring. Perhaps you travel to a dystopian future, where books are set ablaze . . . or to an out-of-the-way sideshow, where animated illustrations crawl across human skin. Or maybe, suddenly, you're returned to a simpler time in small-town America, where summer perfumes the air and life is almost perfect . . . "almost.",Ray Bradbury--peerless storyteller, poet of the impossible, and one of America's most beloved authors--is a literary giant whose remarkable career has spanned seven decades. Now twenty-six of today's most diverse and celebrated authors offer new short works in honor of the master; stories of heart, intelligence, and dark wonder from a remarkable range of creative artists.,TABLE OF CONTENTS,Sam Weller and Mort Castle - Introduction,Ray Bradbury - Second Homecoming,Neil Gaiman - The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury,Margaret Atwood - Headlife,Jay Bonansinga - Heavy,Sam Weller - The Girl In The Funeral Parlor,David Morrell - The Companions,Thomas F.
