The October Country Stories
The October Country Stories is by Ray Bradbury. A collection of exceptionally creepy short stories that demonstrate Bradbury at his best. If you are looking for a entry into Bradbury, short stories, or creepy tales then this book is for you. It contains several of Bradbury's best stories: "The Lake," "The Emissary," "The Cistern," "The Wind," and my personal favorite "Homecoming." A classic set of short stories.
