You wouldn't really guess this collection of short stories was published in 1951. Some were very creepy, some I got a little lost, but mostly they were just creepy and entertaining. The Long Rain, made my skin crawl. The Exiles and No Particular Night or Morning were tense and strangely fun and Zero Hour was the worst because kids are always ghoulish. I could have read an entire novel about the Illustrated Man. I do wish there was more of him.

All in all, unexpectedly wonderful.
