Ray Bradbury is dead

[Snarky]

The last of the golden age sci-fi greats to go. He made the genre stranger and more beautiful.

I agree. Ray Bradbury is one of those writers who showcase the beauty of the English language. Something Wicked This Way Comes will always be one of my favourite books.

[Yoke 2.0]

Agreed. Always wanted to male a game of, or heavily inspired by Something Wicked.

I tip my hat. The man got me into the stranger type of SciFi, together with Harlan Ellison. Both provided a nice balance to StarTrek, where everything gleamed.

He apparently liked this video and since it's basically a tribute to him, maybe a bit old but still a goodie:

I enjoyed his short-lived tv series Ray Bradbury Theater and also the cartoon adaptation of 'The Halloween Tree'.  His narration always lent an air of credibility to even a cartoon.

When I was a kid, my uncle gave me a copy of The Martian Chronicles (the miniseries had just hit the small screen). That cheap paperback survived half a dozen moves and three countries. It finally fell apart a couple of years ago.

Bradbury built worlds like no one else.

  I remember his books in the 60s. They always made compulsive reading.  Still, his books will go on...
