description: The internationally acclaimed author of The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, and Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury is a magician at the height of his powers, displaying his sorcerer's skill with twenty-one remarkable stories that run the gamut from total reality to light fantastic, from high noon to long after midnight. A true master tells all, revealing the strange secret of growing young and mad; opening a Witch Door that links two intolerant centuries; joining an ancient couple in their wild assassination games; celebrating life and dreams in the unique voice that has favored him across six decades and has enchanted millions of readers the world over.Contains: Unterderseaboat Doktor -- Zaharoff/Richter Mark V -- Remember Sascha? -- Another Fine Mess -- The Electrocution -- Hopscotch -- The Finnegan -- That Woman on the Lawn -- The Very Gentle Murders -- Quicker Than the Eye -- Dorian in Excelsis -- No News, or What Killed the Dog? -- The Witch Door -- The Ghost in the Machine -- At the End of the Ninth Year -- Bug -- Once More, Legato -- Exchange -- Free Dirt -- Last Rites -- The Other Highway -- Make Haste to Live: An Afterword
