Here is an advance sneak peak of the cover of We'll Always Have Paris. A description of the book from the publisher is supplied below.This book is due in February of 2009.

"Grand Master Ray Bradbury is one of sf/f’s most distinguished authors, an American treasure who, over his six-decade career, has written poetry, plays and tv scripts, as well as such timeless classics as The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes—works that not only changed the genre but also the way we think. Now, with We’ll Always Have Paris, Bradbury returns to his small-town roots with 22 all-new, never-before-published stories."

"In these vivid vignettes, Bradbury takes small, savory sips of life, writing in spare, dreamlike prose that evokes remarkable moments—minor blips on the radar screen of consciousness—that can change a mind or rearrange an existence…the peculiar things that bump you out of the everyday and into the extraordinary. In one story, Bradbury tells a moody and unusual tale of the undead, and in another, he conjures a modern ghost story from a cry in the wind. He calls up The Twilight Zone with the tale of a radio show character who comes to life in a young couple’s living room, and he returns to Mars with the question, how do you sooth the kind of loneliness that can drive men mad when they’re 60 million miles from home?"

"Easy in their language, yet troubling in their images—as if, to use a line from “The Murder,” “a turn in the wind had, for a moment, changed the temperature of his thoughts”—Bradbury’s tales are wonderful little traps, luring you in with familiarity, lulling your mind with ordinary talk, making you comfortable with the daily-ness of lives, until the dark at the edge of your vision creeps in, the wind starts to rise, there’s a sudden snap behind you…and when the story’s over, you're left shaken, and wondering."

"This is Bradbury as you’ve always loved him, homespun, wry, macabre, and as darkly observant as only he can be."
