I haven't read much Bradbury (yet!), but "The Veldt" creeps me the hell out. I read it at least ten years ago and it still lingers vividly in my imagination.
The King of Cups expects a picnic. But this is not his birthday!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I'd suggest that you don't read "The Small Assassin" until Rose is much older.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
But his scariest story for me is "All Summer In A Day"
You mean "Children Are Bastards"?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I loved King's "On Writing," so I guess I'll have to find "Danse Macabre."
Me too. Of course horror scares me so they will be the only Stephen King I ever read. But I really liked "On Writing."
Sadly, "Danse Macabre" isn't available as e or audio from my old library. I just checked. Or, drat, my new library. I could have used that as a poke to go get a new card. (Still keeping my old one.)

The gmail one, please. It's easier for me to keep track of things on the phone there. Thank you!

What's Bradbury's scariest story to you?
For me it's "The Crowd." I saw the Ray Bradbury Theater adaptation of that while on vacation as a teenager, and it's stayed with me through all the years.

Has Ray Bradbury Theater ever come out on DVD?
They have it on VHS at Le Video and I'm curious to check it out.
