An excellent tribute anthology

As a long-time fan of Ray Bradbury's wonderful work, I was pleased to find this excellent anthology celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of his first professional publication. It is an outstanding collection, featuring the work of such noted authors as Ed Gorman, Orson Scott Card, Richard Matheson and Charles Beaumont. I particularly enjoyed Charles Grant's "One Life, In an Hourglass", a sequel to Something Wicked This Way Comes, and F. Paul Wilson's "The November Game", the logical sequel to "The October Game". These are two of the darkest short stories I have read in quite awhile. All these stories evoke the style and spirit of Bradbury while retaining the sensibilities of the authors who penned (processed?) them. For those familiar with Bradbury, "The Dandelion Chronicles" by William F. Nolan will make you laugh. Book lovers will be enraged by Gregory Benford's "Centigrade 233". Orson Scott Card's entry, "Feed the Baby of Love" will touch you more because of what doesn't happen than because of what does. This book reminded me of the many splendid hours of reading enjoyment I owe to Ray Bradbury. From "The Small Assassin" to Something Wicked This Way Comes, this man has created a formidable body of work. Read The Bradbury Chronicles, then read or reread the work that inspired it. It'll be time well spent.
