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."

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.

Wait, wait, wait, how have I not already purchased From The Dust Returned to have with me at all times? Of course I have Something Wicked This Way Comes (it was the second book I downloaded to the phone, the first being Dracula), but I'm baffled that I don't have From The Dust Returned.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Do you want me to send it to you?
Thank you!
It shall be my treat for unpacking my whole office today.

I'd suggest that you don't read "The Small Assassin" until Rose is much older.
Heh, I actually read it just a few weeks ago (been slowly making my way through a Bradbury collection ever since he died), but I thought it was more funny than creepy. The premise is unsettling, but I couldn't get past the fact that the mother thought her baby was evil because he didn't sleep at night.

Warning: Homecoming is not a horror story. It always gives me a case of the sniffles. Damn allergies. A warm and loving family shows acceptance of the family oddball. Gee, can't think of why that would get to me.

Oh, no. Not in the slightest. But it is my all-time favorite Bradbury story. I have the stand-alone short book for it that was illustrated by Dave McKean, and it's lovely.
(Huh. I wonder if I could convince Pete to illustrate a version JUST FOR ME.)
