First "scary" book of the season. I bought this at an old used book store in a small Texas town in the late 80's or very early 90's. It was already pretty well worn even then. #booksky #raybradbury #classichorror #goodreads

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic.
