A Medicine for Melancholy by Ray Bradbury

4.0

Bradbury is a brilliant writer and one of the most uncanny of all storytellers. This collection is two handfuls of wonderful weird, and, while not every tale told here, in my opinion, stands the rest of time, it is a solid collection of beautifully-written and very succinct science fantasy stories that never in any one of them relies on plotting to impress a reader. Which, of course, is why Bradbury is one of the best: he knew how to write things that you wouldn’t expect to find. This collection is well worth a casual and easy-going read.
