Another one of those "He was alive?" type deaths.

Also, I don't recall particularly enjoying Something wicked this way comes.

Yeah, I thought he was dead too. He was pretty insightful to say the least.

It SUCKS! It also makes me worry about Ray Harryhausen, who had been Ray Bradbury's best buddy since high school when they sneaked away to watch sci-fi movies. Ray Harryhausen later took a Bradbury story and turned it into "Beast from 20 Thousand Fathoms."

I enjoyed 451 and The Martian Chronicles.

On a side note, the next Abe Vigoda watch begins.

A belated RIP to Ray Bradbury, I've always loved 451.

Asimov gone. Clarke gone. Now Bradbury. The "ABCs of Science Fiction" have now all gone. I'm quite sad.

Gotta sit down and read Martian Chronicles again, then Something Wicked This Way Comes. Sigh.
