I'd only read two things by Bradbury - Fahrenheit and Something Wicked This Way Comes - and thought both were fantastic, so I was excited to snatch up this compilation at a book sale for $1.It's compiled of many, many short stories, generally just a few pages long. The stories sort of run the gamut - most have a sci fi/supernatural angle (a lot of ghosts and a little time travel) but then some are just about people being people.
A few I enjoyed quite a bit, some others I wasn't too fond of, and some I didn't totally get. To be honest, I was a little disappointed in the collection. Some of the stories just weren't that great. And almost all of them were too short to really flesh out any idea or character. I don't regret reading them, but I probably won't buy another short story collection from him.
