S is for Space. And for science fiction – spine-tingling, supernatural and sublime. S is for stories from a Star Wilderness that stretches as far as the eye and mind can see and imagine. Creatures who walk from the grave, children who sabotage the earth, Martians and mushrooms, space ships and superbeings – in a spellbinding collection of sixteen masterworks by the author of Long After Midnight, The Illustrated Man, The Martian Chronicles and Dandelion Wine.

Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury didn’t just write science fiction; he wrote about the human experience through the lens of the extraordinary, capturing the beauty and terror of being alive in a world that’s always changing. Best known for Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury’s storytelling is deeply nostalgic, poetic, and often haunting. His worlds are full of wonder, fear, and an uncanny sense of the unknown, offering readers a mirror to reflect on their own society, values, and futures.
