Strange, haunting, bizarre, grotesque, rooted in reality, soaring with imagination, alive with people who never were and creations that one day might be Creatures and stories to set you shivering, gasping with terror, gaping with wonder...

...here are some of Ray Bradbury’s very best stories of wonderfully improbable people, places,and things...

A spaceship captain determined to gather a cupful of the sun... a nubile young witch who yearns to taste human love...an expedition that hunts dinosaurs across the fragile and dangerous chasm of time...These strange and wonderful tales of beauty and terror will transport you from the light to the dark, from inner space to the infinite, from the beginnings of time to the outermost limits of the future. Selected from his bestselling collections The Golden Apples of the Sun and R Is for Rocket, here are thirty-two superb stories from one of the master fantasists of our age--the inimitable Ray Bradbury.
