Bradbury 100 - celebrating the life and work of American writer Ray Bradbury, presented by Phil Nichols of Bradburymedia.co.uk.

This episode looks at the most significant month in the Bradbury calendar: October! Ray published three books related to that month, ensuring that he will always be associated with spooky season. His short story The October Country collects his scariest stories; his novel Something Wicked This Way Comes shows what happens when a dark carnival comes to town; and his short novel The Halloween Tree explores the history and meaning of Halloween.
