But you can’t make people listen. They have to come ’round in their own time, wondering what happened and why the world blew up under them.

The Censor Keeps a Copy
Twenty years ago, give or take, a friend told me a story he expected me to admire. He was a Latter-day Saint who worked in technology, and he was, as I understood it then, the bishop of his ward, an unpaid office the church gives to laymen who keep their day jobs, so he kept a company's hours all week and presided over a congregation on Sundays. There was a Mormon bookstore he went into often, and one day he walked in and found a new display for Goosebumps, the paperbacks with the dripping green logo about haunted masks, a ventriloquist's dummy with a mind of its own, and a werewolf in a Florida swamp. He spoke to the owner. The owner told him the books were selling well and that those sales were keeping the store alive. My friend pressed him on content, judged the whole series blasphemous, an invitation to the occult at a child's price, and let it be understood that if the titles stayed on the shelf a report would go to the stake president. A week later he came back. The books were gone, the owner was distant and cold, and my friend bought a couple of books, in his own phrase, to make up the difference. He told me this the way another man might tell you he had coached his kid's team to a championship. He was proud. The word I have settled on, twenty years later, is forensic: he had investigated, prosecuted, and won, and he walked out of that store on the high of it. […] -

Yours for a mere £2,200. Anthologist-supreme Peter Haining's own copy of the rare Arkham House edition of the first book by Ray Bradbury, 'Dark Carnival'. As you can see, it is signed and dedicated by Bradbury with a jolly drawing of a monster.

Ray Bradbury Day 🎂
En 1984, el célebre diseñador Saul Bass y su esposa Elaine Bass estrenaron “Quest”, un corto de 30 minutos de ci-fi distópica con guion de Ray Bradbury, visualmente imponente y con la curiosidad de estar protagonizado por Noah Hathaway, 'Atreyu' en “La historia interminable”, estrenada ese mismo año.
Si os apetece verlo, lo tenéis íntegro en YouTube. Está en V.O., pero carece casi de diálogos, así que no hay mayor problema. 😘

Die klügste Widerstandshandlung gegen die Zerstörung von Büchern ist übrigens der Aufbau einer eigenen kleinen (oder sehr großen) #Bibliothek.

Among the ruins, one wall stood alone. Within the wall, a last voice said, over and over, “Today is August 5, 2026, today is August 5, 2026, today is …”

Building a #VampireTheMasquerade omni-chronicle (which will contain smaller chronicles and one shots) covering the Midwest (Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, the goblin roads between). Calling it VAMPIRE: A MIDWEST GOTHIC and opening the welcome page with this quote.

Hey everybody, in case you missed it, today: August 4, 2026 is the exact day Ray #Bradbury picked to end the world, 76 years ago.
"There Will Come Soft Rains" 's title was a nod to Sara #Teasdale's "There Will Come Soft Rains," written in 1918 in reflection of the losses of the First World War and the influenza pandemic, and premised that the natural world would barely register humanity's disappearance.
Here's a pdf link, in case you'd like to reread it. It, in my opinion, is among the best short stories every written. (Granted, I'm a Bradbury fan girl.)

There Will Come Soft Rains
In 1950 Ray Bradbury wrote a short story called There Will Come Soft Rains. The story appears in a collection called The Martian Chronicles. The title comes from poem of the same title, written in 1918 as a response to the horrors of World War 1:
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools, singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.by Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
The Ray Bradbury story is set in the (then) distant future and describes, in a typically eery and unsettling way, the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust. One house, in Allendale Carlifornia, fully automated to provide for the comfort of its owners, carries on functioning after the owners are both vapourised by a nuclear blast. Beds continue to be made, meals prepared, floors cleaned, and dishes washed, by systems oblivious to the fact the owners are no more. The house recites to the ladyof the house one of her favoruite poems, There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale. Then a fire starts by accident and the house burns to the ground.
I was reminded today that the date of the story (in the original version) is August 4, 2026. I looked for my copy of The Martian Chronicles when I got home but couldn’t find it. Here, however, are the opening few paragraphs:
The full text of the story can be found here (among a number of other places). It’s out of copyright.
