THE DWARF has a strange compulsion to visit and revisit a carnival’s Hall of Mirrors.There are a few light moments, but in general these tales are tinted inky-black. Be prepared for queasy feelings as Bradbury graphically depicts mummified corpses and otherworldly autopsies, and paints some dark and brooding scenarios. This is a collection of nineteen mainly macabre short stories originally published between 19. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. that country where it is always turning late in the year. The October Country by Ray Bradbury ~ 1955.
