You ruined my day.

Go With God Ray. You'll be missed, but your works remain with us.

Bradbury has frequently been credited with elevating the often maligned reputation of science fiction


Although he himself made the distinction between Sci-fi and what he said he wrote which was Science fantasy.

Onward to better things Mr Bradbury.

Loved “Something Wicked This Way Comes” and “The Martian Chronicles” immensely! Too bad the movies didn’t live up to the books.

Something Wicked This Way Comes has the most vivid description of an approaching thunderstorm I have ever read.

Thanks Ray. Rest in Peace.

RIP Ray....

your scifi craft will entertain people long after today.

my favorite is the short story “A Sound of Thunder” which eloquently discribes the Grandfather Paradox...discribed also as the Butterfly Effect because of the cause and effect, the caused being stepping on a butterfly in the past....

Great Stuff Ray.....

I had the great opportunity to hear Ray Bradbury speak when I was in college in the 70’s. He was incredibly funny and smart, had many interesting stories to relate, seemed like a super guy and was one of the most enjoyable speakers I have ever heard. RIP Mr. Bradbury, you were a good one.

“Something Wicked This Way Comes”, has been one of my favorites which I passed on to my Daughter who felt the same way. Too bad our politicians don’t thate works like this to heart. RIP Mr. Bradbury, you made the world just a bit better.

I have multiple books from Mr. Bradbury. From signed limited editions to dime store paperbacks, and his imagination never failed to amaze me.

He will be missed.
