My introduction to Ray Bradbury was the Martian Chronicles TV series in 1980 starting Rock Hudson, Nicholas (Spude-Man) Hammond and Roddy McDowall. From that introduction, I had to read the book and then Fahrenheit 451 and Something Wicked This Way Comes.

Ray Bradbury was a poet who wrote science fiction. He never went for the science side of things, but delved underneath for the soul of the people inhabiting his stories. In this way, he touched several generations of readers and writers.

Goodbye Mr. Bradbury. The world has lost a master storyteller.
