Produktbeschreibungen

Amazon.de

Ray Bradbury's first short story collection is back in print, its chilling encounters with funhouse mirrors, parasitic accident-watchers, and strange poker chips intact. Both sides of Bradbury's vaunted childhood nostalgia are also on display, in the celebratory "Uncle Einar," and haunting "The Lake," the latter a fine elegy to childhood loss. This edition features a new introduction by Bradbury, an invaluable essay on writing, wherein the author tells of his "Theater of Morning Voices," and, by inference, encourages you to listen to the same murmurings in yourself. And has any writer anywhere ever made such good use of exclamation marks!? -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine andere Ausgabe: Taschenbuch .

Synopsis

A collection of short stories by the famous science fiction writer that border on the bizarre, including "Skeleton," "The small assassin," "Touched with fire," and "Uncle Einar".

5.0 von 5 Sternen A classic of the horror genre 3. Juni 2000
Format:Taschenbuch
Ray Bradbury is an astounding writer of short horror stories and this book (oft cited on lists of best horror novels ever) is the best collection of his work. Unlike most collections of short stories there are few if any misses out the 19 tales. The tales that really chill the bone are 'the small assasin', 'the emmissary', 'the crowd', 'the skeleton.... infact they're ALL great. Every horror fan must own a copy of this book.

Ray Bradbury's name is synonymous with imagination and in this collection of short stories he proves that beyond a reasonable doubt. I know, I used to cringe at his name. That is before I learned that he didn't just write science fiction (a genre of which I am not too fond). These stories range from a bizarre account of one couple's visit to a Mexican town and the mummies that reside there (The Next In Line), a loyal dog that brings its young bed-ridden owner things from out in the world, even things from cemeteries (The Emissary), a baby born with an evil intelligence (The Small Assassin), a man who is the heir to Death's job (The Scythe), and an observant boy who deals with a tenant vampire in a very unique way (The Man Upstairs). The stories I have listed are of particualr impact and my favorites of the collection, but overall word for word, page for page each story is priceless. If you are a fan of horror fiction or just plain old imaginative writing in general invest in the works of Ray Bradbury, you won't regret it.

5.0 von 5 Sternen My first Ray Bradbury...And I LOVED it! 5. November 1999
Von Ein Kunde
Format:Taschenbuch
I borrowed this book from the library, having heard about the story "Next in Line." At first, I thought that the book as silly and ridecules, but as I continued reading, something mysterious in the writing seemed to attract me and made me into an addict of sorts. Every spare moment I had was spent reading it. It's been a few years since I read it, but of what I remember, I thoroughly enjoyed The Small Assassin. It was great. The Wind was hauting. I didn't care for the Scythe, though. I found it extremely dumb and dissapionting. Some of the storied were extremely lacking, yet others were great. I loved how, after the whol story, it was usually the last sentance that really got you, that brought it all together. After reading these reviews, I'm dying to read it again. I highly recomend this great book.

5.0 von 5 Sternen outstanding 2. August 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
Thsi was the first book I ever ordered from Amazon and it is, by far, one of my favorite books ever. The stories are so brilliantly written that you can actually feel the crunch of the brown,autumn leaves and the cool, crisp October air blow through your hair as you read this eerie book. A perfect halloween/autumn book for seasonal readers.

5.0 von 5 Sternen Happy Hallowe'en! 18. Juli 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
Every year just before I reread The Homecoming. It was the first Bradbury story I ever read, way back in 5th grade, and I fell in love with it immediately. When Bradbury writes about an apple pie, in a few quick words you smell it. I love this collection, as I love Farenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and The Illustrated Man. The stories in here range from the odd to the silly to the chilling, the kind of stories you want to tell in a tent by a flashlight on a camping trip with your old buddies. They are for the child and the terror in us all. May you all fly with Uncle Einar!

5.0 von 5 Sternen Vintage Bradbury! 1. April 1999
Format:Taschenbuch
This is not only a book for readers who like to be entertained. It is also a very useful lesson on how to write short fiction effectively, for all the emerging authors out there (myself included) Bradbury is in a class of his own with his story collections.
