Nolan; Afterword: Fifty Years, Fifty Friends - Ray Bradbury. SYNOPSIS: It was a magical year, the year that Ray Bradbury's first story was published in Super Science Stories. Since that momentous day, he has created a constant stream of novels, short stories, stage works, and television shows. For generations of writers, he has been the catalyst that gave their own careers direction, and for readers the world around his stories have terrified, tantalized, and captivated, even as they opened the way to dreams of different futures and alternate pasts. Now in recognition of all that Ray Bradbury has given us, his literary comrades and heirs have banded together to craft this tribute to his genius, twenty-two original tales, including one by Ray himself, as well as a tribute to Ray by Isaac Asimov. So enter Ray Bradbury territory as you wander through locales and meet characters, some familiar and some new, inspired by such vintage Bradbury as The October Country, Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, Dark Carnival, and, of course, The Martian Chronicles. RAY BRADBURY, The Troll-He was a nice folksy town legend. But when a man of science confronts a legend in the real world, he has only himself to blame for the results. ORSON SCOTT CARD, Feed the Baby of Love-when a burnt-out rock 'n' roll singer arrives in a dead-end town, she's drawn into a strange game and things begin to unravel. RICHARD MATHESON, Two O'Clock Session-He had taken therapy into a whole new dimension, but only time would tell whether his patients would be better off for being "cured". GREGORY BENFORD, Centigrade 233-It was a different time, a different society, but even here books could still be made to stand for something. F. PAUL WILSON, The November Game-He'd never denied that he killed his own daughter, but then he'd never guessed how his punishment would fit his crime. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
