The October Country; With a New Introduction by the Author

Welcome to the land Ray Bradbury calls "the Undiscovered Country" of his imagination - that vast territory of ideas, concepts, notions and conceits where the stories you now hold were born. America's premier living author of short fiction, Bradbury has spent many lifetimes in this remarkable place - strolling through empty, shadow-washed fields at midnight; exploring long-forgotten rooms gathering dust behind doors bolted years ago to keep strangers locked out... and secrets locked in. The nights are longer in this country. The cold hours of darkenss move like autumn mists deeper and deeper toward winter. But the moonlight reveals great magic here - and a breathtaking vista.
