An anthology of all-new stories inspired or informed by the work of the great Ray Bradbury, written by some of todayâs celebrated authors. âRay Bradbury is, without a doubt, one of this or any centuryâs greatest and most imaginative writers. Shadow Show, a book of truly great stories, is the perfect tribute to Americaâs master storyteller.â âStan Lee, legendary former president and chairman of Marvel Comics What do you imagine when you hear the name . . . Bradbury? You might see rockets to Mars. Or bizarre circuses where otherworldly acts whirl in the center ring. Perhaps you travel to a dystopian future, where books are set ablaze . . . or to an out-of-the-way sideshow, where animated illustrations crawl across human skin. Or maybe, suddenly, youâre returned to a simpler time in small-town America, where summer perfumes the air and life is almost perfect . . . almost. Ray Bradburyâpeerless storyteller, poet of the impossible, and one of America's most beloved authorsâis a literary giant whose remarkable career has spanned seven decades.
