Winding down! 🤩
pickI finally read this book (and in time for Halloween! I'm just a little behind in reviews). I grew up loving the movie and have been planning to read the book for a while. It was great fun reading lines that are word-for-word in the movie. The movie has slightly better storytelling. Bradbury does an amazing job as the movie's narrator. #Halloween #BookToScreen
pickThis collection of Ray Bradbury‘s short stories was just the right amount of unsettling—a perfect read for October! Bradbury is a master, and there are some gems here. The stories I found the creepiest were creepy for entirely different reasons: “The Next in Line” and “Skeleton.” I loved “Uncle Einar,” “There Was an Old Woman,” and “The Wonderful Death of Dudley Stone”—and honestly, those were probably the least unsettling of them all. ⤵️
pickOctober 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.
Happy Halloween! I dressed up as a fanfic character from The Mirror Visitor series. This is a picture of the almost completed Ophelia scarf I wore.
so-soThis book is a prime example of why I‘m not a short story fan, especially in this genre of supposedly spooky or scary tales. There are apparently “gotcha” moments that just went straight over my head. Still, there a few stories I did like—those with Uncle Einar were the best, and The Scythe was thought-provoking.

I finished the tagged audiobook on my afternoon drive. I found five #wordsearch words (75 points), #bookscavengerhunt #mist & #monochrome (30 pts), #wickedwhispers #monster (short stories Uncle Einar and Homecoming) and many #halloweenatoz letters with 19 short stories. @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
