Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was a great master of the pen, a classic of world literature and a living legend of science fiction. His books have been passionately read by millions of people around the world for more than half a century. Bradbury is much more than a fiction writer - his work can be attributed to "high", out-of-genre literature. The most famous novels, short stories and novellas, bright and sincere, brought Ray Bradbury fame not only inventor of amazing stories, but also philosopher, thinker, psychologist.
"I soon realized that although at twelve, sixteen, eighteen, and even at twenty my dream was to write science fiction, I was, fortunately or not, the illegitimate son of the Phantom of the Opera, Dracula, and a bat. I come from the House of Usher, my aunts and uncles trace their lineage back to Poe." Only Bradbury, a master of creating special worlds and outlandish plots, could come up with such a story. Halloween is a fun holiday with candy and masks, but Ray Bradbury's characters are no laughing matter. On the eve of All Saints' Day, Mr. Savan de Sarcophagus takes the boys on a flight of ten thousand years. Ancient Egypt, Druid Britain, medieval Europe in the company of witches, Paris and Mexico on the Day of the Dead are what the boys will see. "What is Halloween? Where did it start? Where? Why? What is it for? Witches, cats, mummy dust, ghosts. It's all in the land of no return." Are you ready to dive into the black ocean? Ready to soar into the dark skies? Ready to give a year of your life for a friend?
