The October Country is many places: a picturesque Mexican village where death is a tourist attraction a city beneath the city where drowned lovers are silently reunited a carnival midway where a tiny man's most cherished fantasy can be fulfilled night after night. But the moonlight reveals great magic here-and a breathtaking vista. The cold hours of darkness move like autumn mists deeper and deeper toward winter. America's premier living author of short fiction, Bradbury has spent many lifetimes in this remarkable place-strolling through empty, shadow-washed fields at midnight exploring long-forgotten rooms gathering dust behind doors bolted years ago to keep strangers locked out. Welcome to a land Ray Bradbury calls "the Undiscovered Country" of his imagination-that vast territory of ideas, concepts, notions and conceits where the stories you now hold were born.
