Synopsis

For more than fifty years Ray Bradbury has regaled us with wonders, enabled us to view from fresh perspectives the world we inhabit, and see others we never dreamed existed.Here are eighteen brand-new stories and seven previously published but never before collected stories -- proof positive that Bradbury's magic is as potent as ever.Sip the sweet innocence of youth, the wisdom -- and folly -- of age. Taste the warm mysteries of summer and bitterness of betrayed loves and abandoned places. These stories will set your mind spinning and carry you to remarkable locales: a house where lime has no boundaries; a movie theater where deconstructed schlock is drunkenly assembled into art; a wheat field that hides a strangely welcome enemy. These are but a few of the ingredients that have gone into Bradbury's savory cocktail. And every satisfying swallow brings new surprises and revelations.

With the recent passing of Mr. Ray Bradbury, I wanted to read a collection of his stories. ONE MORE FOR THE ROAD is a great collection. Images drip from the pages. Scenes radiate long after a story has finished. Sometimes his words seem to be a flash of light, uttered by a being trying to be underst......more

En el vigésimo segundo programa de Gabinete de Curiosidades se comenta en profundidad el relato El dragón bailó a medianoche: [URL not allowed] Es evidente que Ray Bradbury escribió estos cuentos durante la vejez. No hace falta ser muy perspicaz ni poseer una agudeza especial, lo dice......more

Goodreads review by Tony on October 30, 2018

I can quite often be heard – in polite company - espousing the talents of Ray Bradbury. This however seems to be more ‘in the style of’ rather than anything approaching his best work. The bits left over, as it were. Read by all means, there are some good tales in here, but you have to look for them!......more

Goodreads review by Mark on October 06, 2013

Here is another of Ray Bradbury's later story collections and there are no real surprises in it. There are a number of stories about childhood nostalgia, some about time travel, others about loss and regret and grief. These are competent pieces, but nothing is revelatory, certainly not if you have r......more
