A Medicine for Melancholy by Ray Bradbury, Caitlín R. Kiernan

took me forever to get through this, not because i couldn't get into it, per se, but since it was a collection of short stories i used it as a book to pick up while i was in between books. a very small handful of stories really stuck with me, but the majority i found it hard to really get sucked into. i also feel like a lot was left unsaid. bradbury is always a joy, but this collection just didn't strike me through the heart. one story i'm still thinking about weeks later is "the time of going away."
