All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury

All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury is a short but powerful piece of science fiction about childhood, jealousy, cruelty, and regret. Like much of Bradbury's best work, the science fiction setting is important, but the story is ultimately about human ...more
Season of the Stranger by Tony Travis
"This was a sharp and punchy little read, and sets up for further story expansion well.

The book is a horror story set in rural America in the late 1800s, with a distinct Legend of Sleepy Hollow vibe. The world is well drawn and atmospheric. The prose " Read more of this review »

Bloodchild by Octavia E. Butler is a most thought provoking piece of science fiction. It is also, in many important ways, kind of gross. It challenges expectations from the very first page, forcing the reader to question ideas about family, power, sa ...more

The Skeleton by Ray Bradbury is one of his most unsettling early stories because it takes something every person carries with them and turns it into a source of dread. Rather than relying on monsters lurking in the dark, Bradbury asks a far more dist ...more
