Wow!!! This is cool,creepy,carnival music. Thanks for introducing me to a new musical genius. When kids come to my door this Halloween, I'll be playing this musical treat.

This painting belongs on the wall of Ray Bradbury and everyone who loves him:

Dandy, above pic: "Zero Hour!"

There are two actors who I thought were very Bradburyesque: Cyril Cusack in Fahrenheit 451 and Royal Dano in Something Wicked This Way Comes. I thought both were made to play in Bradbury's yard.

Sometimes my own life seems Bradburyesque. Eleven years ago, after retirement, I took to taking walks late at night for exercise and just to savor freedom. One night a police patrol car pulled up and asked me what I was doing.
"Just taking a walk," I said. "I like walking at this hour when there are no crowds and the air is warm."
"Walking?" one of the cops said. "Just walking?"
My God, I thought. Talk about life imitating art! I got a bit uneasy and began to wonder if they were going to haul me off.
They didn't. They drove off after I gave my name and address.

Welcome Freeleigh!

Royal Dano played Elijah in the Ray Bradbury film adaptation of Moby Dick, and Cyril Cusack played the doctor in The Ray Bradbury Theater adaptation of "The Small Assassin".

If you happen on Leonard Mead, please say hello!

Abandoned theme parks. Cooger and Dark's not among them.

Wow, the turned-over horse was sad, the clown head was scare-kid creepy, and Heritage USA gone is a cheering high note.

The story "The Third Level" by Jack Finney is very reminiscent of Ray's "A Scent of Sarsaparilla" (I can spell that without a typechecker!), but without the sadness and loss at the ending. Upon every re-reading -- most recently a few days ago -- I get this little shock that goes "Oh, yeah! Ray Bradbury didn't write this!

There are other stories that as I read, I am wondering whether the writer was doing a homage to, or was ripping off, or was simply inspired by the original R.B. But I will have to wait to post them until I run across them again, and remember their titles.

For what it's worth I've read only a handful of Finney and always meant to read more. Neil Gaiman also very high on TBR list.

Finney is a marvel, and deserves to be more widely read. Similarities to Bradbury, but with his own style, technique and thematic concerns.

These are liable to be Bradburyesque.
