BonzoShort Stories
Hello Everyone:
I am currently researching Mr. Bradbury's work. I was wondering if you could recommend a few of his best short stories.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks,

Nard KordellWelcome:
Of course, everyone will likely put down their own favorites.
Here's a few of the short stories that I found very memorable
The Tombling Day
Death and the Maiden
April Witch
Here There Be Tygers
The Scythe
(For a much longer work, try:
The Wonderful Ice Cream Suit)

I don't have a list in front of me. I'm having lunch at work. Go to the library and check out his anthologies. Bradbury is a master story teller.

BonzoI would like to thank you all very much for you input. I am making a list to take to the library. I figured it would be better to ask the experts first.
Thanks again.
