Celebrating Ray Bradbury' s centenary, this collection commemorates his finest crime stories - tales as strange and wonderful as his signature fantasy. Time travellers. . . dark carnivals. . . living automata. . . and detectives? Honouring the 100th birthday of Ray Bradbury, renowned author of Fahrenheit 451, this new, definitive collection of the master' s less well-known crime fiction features classic stories and rare gems, a number of which became episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Ray Bradbury Theater, including the tale Bradbury called ' one of the best stories in any field that I have ever written' . Is it murder to destroy a robot if it looks and speaks and thinks and feels like a human being? Can a ventriloquist be incriminated by the testimony of his own dummy? Can a time traveller prevent his younger self from killing the woman they both loved? And can the survivor of a pair of Siamese twins investigate his own brother' s murder? No other writer has ever rivalled the imagination and narrative gifts of Ray Bradbury, and the 20 unforgettable stories in this collection demonstrate this singular writer' s extraordinary range, influence and emotional power.
' As influenced by George Bernard Shaw and William Shakespeare as he was by Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Bradbury was an expert of the taut tale, the last-sentence twist. And he was more celebrated for short fiction than his longer works. ' -Los Angeles Times' Ray Bradbury was the 20th-century American short-story writer par excellence. ' -Guardian
