    About Killer, Come Back To Me: The Crime Stories of Ray Bradbury

    Celebrating Ray Bradbury’s centennial, a deluxe illustrated commemorative collection of his finest crime stories — tales as strange and wonderful as his signature fantasy.

    Time travelers…dark carnivals…living automata…and detectives? Honoring the 100th birthday of Ray Bradbury, renowned author of Fahrenheit 451, this new, definitive collection of the master’s less well-known crime fiction, published in a high-grade premium collectible edition, features classic stories and rare gems, a number of which became episodes of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS and THE RAY BRADBURY THEATER, including the tale Bradbury called “one of the best stories in any field that I have ever written.”

    Is it murder to destroy a robot if it looks and speaks and thinks and feels like a human being? Can a ventriloquist be incriminated by the testimony of his own dummy? Can a time traveler prevent his younger self from killing the woman they both loved? And can the survivor of a pair of Siamese twins investigate his own brother’s murder? No other writer has ever rivaled the imagination and narrative gifts of Ray Bradbury, and the 20 unforgettable stories in this collection demonstrate this singular writer’s extraordinary range, influence and emotional power.

    Praise

    “20 worthy tales in this diverse collection of crime stories from Bradbury (1920–2012) …This tribute volume should appeal to more than just Bradbury fans.” - Publishers Weekly

    “He could do the hard-boiled strut with the best of them, then enhance it with what the editor calls ‘the emotional fire of his prose’….All told in an intense, poetic language that leaves disturbing echoes.” – Booklist
