It's good to have friends in high places!

Tell us, would there be an intro or afterword by our favorite author?

The big question is, will a horrible oversight from "The Stories of Ray Bradbury" be corrected? Will they put in "The Pedestrian"?

Remember Sascha?

That Woman on the Lawn
February 1999: Ylla
Banshee
One for His Lordship, and One for the Road!
The Laurel and Hardy Love Affair
The Unterderseaboat Doktor
Another Fine Mess
The Dwarf

Oh, I love "The Dwarf". I'd forgotten it was not in the first collection.

I'm so relieved to see that this is not merely a reprint of the previous collection. So far, no overlap at all from what I can see.

DUH! I just noticed on the cover pic that it says "with an introduction by the author". So I guess that answers my question.

Introduction by Ray, no Afterword.

A Wild Night in Galway
The Wind
No News, or What Killed the Dog?
A Little Journey
Any Friend of Nicholas Nickelby's is a Friend of Mine
The Garbage Collector
The Visitor
The Man
Henry the Ninth
The Messiah

("A Little Journey" can be taken off the uncollected list when this collection appears.)

Bang! You're Dead!
Darling Adolf
The Beautiful Shave
Colonel Stonesteel's Genuine Home-made Truly Egyptian Mummy
I See You Never
The Exiles
At Midnight, in the Month of June
The Witch Door
The Watchers
2004-05: The Naming of Names

"The Beautiful Shave" has never been collected, and "The Watchers" was collected only in the "Dark Carnival" limited edition.

Wow! This looks like its shaping up to be a great selection. I'm also unfamiliar with "A Wild Night in Galway." Anyone know in what collection it first appeared?

Great stuff!

Best,

Greg

'Naming of Names' ...is still one of my favorite. Was ....'The Concrete Mixer'... listed? (Or am I thinking about something else?)
What about...
'John Huff's Leavetaking'
...and 'Illuminations'?

A Blade of Grass
The Sound of Summer Running
And the Sailor, Home from the Sea
The Lonely Ones

Two more previously uncollected titles here, "A Blade of Grass" and "The Lonely Ones." Both qualify as "lost" Martian stories which should appear in our "Second Martian Chronicles" volume. (The hardest thing there might be establishing story order--these "lost" ones lack dates!) In just 100 stories including so many previously collected, it doesn't seem that this volume can include all uncollected stories, but it is certainly making a good start.

The Finnegan
On the Orient, North
The Smiling People
The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl
Bug
Downwind from Gettysburg
Time in Thy Flight
Changeling
The Dragon
Let's Play "Poison"

"The Smiling People" and "Changeling" are in the "Anthologized, but not Collected" category, and "Let's Play 'Poison'" has appeared only in foreign or limited editions. "Downwind from Gettysburg" has been collected, and made my "shoulda been in the first 100" list, so it's great to see it here.

The Cold Wind and the Warm
The Meadow
The Kilimanjaro Device
The Man in the Rorschach Shirt
Bless Me, Father, for I Have Sinned
The Pedestrian
Trapdoor
The Swan
The Sea Shell
Once More, Legato

"The Sea Shell" is another which has appeared only in anthologies or limited editions.

"The Smiling People" was published in England in the collection 'The Small Assassin,' and *may* have been included in Dark Carnival - it certainly dates from that period.
