Legendary storyteller Ray Bradbury, the recipient of a Grand Master Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the great treasures of the genre. He was among the first to fuse fantastical elements with a literary style, and his influence is still felt today. In this collection of classic stories, a hiker meets a man whose upper body is covered with illustrations so vivid and beautiful that they literally come to life. One by one the images quiver with extraordinary tales. The illustrations tell of a future where space travel is commonplace and technology has a tendency to turn sinister. Full of familiar realistic details and dialogue, they make what was unthinkable believable.
