In the pages of this unique collective work, Ray Bradbury's centenary is celebrated with a collection of his most exceptional crime stories – tales as strange and wonderful as his signature fantasy.
Time travelers... dark carnivals... living automata... and detectives? Celebrating the 100th birthday of Ray Bradbury, the renowned author of Fahrenheit 451, this new, definitive collection of the great writer's lesser-known crime fantasy literature includes classic stories and rare gems, many of which were translated into episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents and The Ray Bradbury Theater, including the story Bradbury considered "one of the best stories in any genre that I've ever written."
Is it a crime to destroy a robot if it looks, talks, and thinks like a human? Can a puppeteer be indicted by the testimony of his own doll? Can a time traveler prevent his younger self from killing the woman they both loved? And can a survivor of a pair of drifting twins investigate the murder of his brother? No other writer has ever managed to rival the imagination and storytelling abilities of Ray Bradbury, and the 20 unforgettable stories in this collection prove the extraordinary flair, influence, and emotional power of this unique author.
