Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray Bradbury

Show Notes

Bradbury 100 returns with another "Chronological" episode, this time continuing with the year 1945. In this year, Ray published no fewer than thirteen stories.

In this episode, I cover the next five stories: Skeleton (first version), The Watchers, Dead Men Rise Up Never, Corpse Carnival, and The Dead Man.

This batch of stories is once again a mix of crime stories and weird fantasy, clearly Ray's preferred genres at this time.

For more information, including links to online versions of the stories (where available), please check the full show notes on my website, here:
