The October Country by Ray Bradbury (1976)

[AE35Unit]

Some good stories, some ok ones.
The second story, The Watchful Poker Chip of H. Matisse, just doesn't make sense at all. Drivel
There's very little 'Octoberness' in this book, you get a hint of it here and there (The Dwarf, The Jar) but on the whole the cover image does not match the contents. Not a keeper, listed on bookmooch. There's just something about his writing, I don't know what it is.

One of my major favorites. Sat up all night reading.

The Scythe is one of my all time favourite short stories.

The Scythe is one of my all time favourite short stories.

Me too. I think it’s worth buying the book just for The Scythe and The Crowd. All the others are a bonus

I liked it for the most part. The endings are a bit predictable though.
