Publisher's Synopsis
THE OCTOBER COUNTRY is Ray Bradbury's own netherworld of the soul, inhabited by the horrors and demons that lurk within all of us. Renowned for his five-million-copy bestseller FARENHEIT 451, and hailed by HARPER'S magazine as 'the finest living writer of fantastic fiction', Ray Bradbury shows with each of these nineteen stories his brilliant knack for extracting the chilling essence of a world's insanities, disorders, and hangups. Once again he proves himself to be America's master of the short story.
