OCTOBER COUNTRY: Ray Bradbury: Ballantine Books: 1996: 306 p.I am not generally a fan of horror, but I am definitely a fan of Ray Bradbury. October Country is a collection of dark, supernatural stories with a chilling mix of twisted fates and scares. These psychological tales offer horror in thought provoking doses. Some of the stories foreshadow more recent sci-fi or horror plots, i.e. The Scythe, which features a man who is heir to death’s job. If you prefer novels to stories and want to read a classic, read Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes” but whatever you do, don’t miss reading something by this classic, gifted sci-fi/fantasy writer.
