"Ray Bradbury is without a doubt, one of this, or any century's greatest and most imaginative writers. SHADOW SHOW, a book of truly great stories, is the perfect tribute to America's master storyteller." -- Stan Lee, legendary comic book writer and former president and chairman of Marvel Comics "Great new tales of imagination in the Bradbury tradition." -- Hugh Hefner, publisher and founder of Playboy Enterprises "SHADOW SHOW is a treasure-trove for Ray Bradbury enthusiasts as for all readers who are drawn to richly imaginative, deftly plotted, startlingly original and unsettling short fiction." -- --Joyce Carol Oates, New York Times bestselling author "This anthology reflects the high imagination, visionary ideas, and fantastic writing that Ray is loved and known for around the world." -- Former public school teacher, librarian, and First Lady Laura Bush "Editorial interest and experience converge here to produce an exciting book." -- Booklist (starred review)

1. 4/5

   En respektfull antologi i syfte att framföra kärleken till en författare. Jag delar helt kärleken och respekterar försöken att skriva i hans anda. Det fungerar ofta, försöken är hedervärda och ibland lyckas det. Om historierna hur Ray Bradbury hjälpte de olika författarna i början av karriären är endast är till hälften sanna, är Ray Bradbury till och med större än hans historier - och det är stort!
