The October Country

The October Country by Ray Bradbury is an excellent collection of short stories ranging from weird to creepy to even a bit beautiful. I haven't read Bradbury since high school and I'm so glad I decided to pick this book up this October. It's a wonderful volume for spooky season, especially for readers who might want stories that seem to fit Halloween but aren't all hardcore horror. Bradbury's introduction is one of the best I've read and the stories were pretty much all 3 stars and up, with lots of fours and some fives. Some of my favorite tales from this collection included The Dwarf, The Crowd, The Scythe, The Man Upstairs, and Homecoming. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
