A review by logickat
Quicker Than the Eye by Ray Bradbury
5.0
I have always thought of Bradbury as a SF writer, so I was pleasantly surprised to find this mixed collection of short stories and poems. These stories are quirky and quick- you have to keep up or you will be left behind. A few notables:
"The Finnegan" A giant trapdoor spider is hunted by a man who himself is fascinated by doors.
"The Very Gentle Murders" Husband and wife "joke" about killing each other.
"The Witch Door" A witch is transported from the past through a magic portal, but then a fugitive is lost through it.
"Last Rites" (My favorite) A man invents a time-travel machine and visits his favorite authors on their deathbeds to let them know that they will become famous and loved in the future.
