Bradbury 100 - episode 73 - Chronological Bradbury 1945 (part 1)

Bradbury 100 returns for 2026 with another "Chronological" episode, this time starting us off with the year 1945. In this year, Ray published no fewer than thirteen stories. In this episode, I cover the first four stories: The Poems, I’m Not So Dumb, Hell’s Half Hour, and The Tombstone. There's a mixture here of two genres still favoured as a professional short story writer, namely the detective story and the weird tale. For more information, including links to online versions of the stories (where available), please check the full show notes on my website, here: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2026/02/bradbury-100-returns-new-episode.html
