The October Country | Ray Bradbury
post image
Pickpick

October country is a place where autumn is the permanent season. Daytime wanes rapidly; night lives on endlessly. These short stories are full of some of Bradbury's most macabre writing, both bizarre and terrifying. They also contain underlying philosophical truths about humanity and what we need to achieve happiness. Originally contained in the limited edition of DARK CARNIVAL, Bradbury spruced up these tales and added some as well. Riveting.

lil1inblue What an excellent review! 🤩 10h
dabbe @lil1inblue Thanks! You just made my day! 🤩🤗😘 8h
Texreader So glad you liked it! I wasn‘t a big fan. 5h
dabbe @Texreader His writing was so different from F 451 and more like SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES. Books hit us at different times, sometimes positively, sometimes not. I think I was in the mood for his total out-thereness. And some of those stories were out there! 🤩 5h
Texreader @dabbe no kidding! Yes 451 was quite different. How can someone not like that book? 😉 5h

“She feared long words she did not understand. Beelzebub lay hid among too many syllables.”

- Algernon Blackwood, "The Man Whom the Trees Loved"

Sophie Bittacy learned her religion at her minister father's knee, accepted this heritage wholesale, without reflection or consideration, and her reaction to non-Biblical ideas put me in mind of Asimov's words on anti-intellectualism.

Bookwomble Within the story, Blackwood's own swipe at anti-intellectualism is, admittedly, somewhat diminished by his sexist framing 🫤 2d
The_Book_Ninja I think, since Asimov‘s quote, there‘s been an alteration in that paradigm. We now have the armchair intellectual: A moronic view that democracy is “my ignorant opinion based on zero evidence is just as good as scientific fact” 2d
Seabreeze_Reader @The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Especially if the "opinion" was informed by a post on -fill in the blank- social media. 2d
