One of the great master's collections, published in 2009. In these twenty-two stories, Bradbury once again demonstrates miracles beyond the power of other magicians: voices from the air take on flesh and blood, the heart of a famous actor who died young continues to beat in someone else's chest, a dog at a monastery hospital hears confessions, and impenetrable darkness thickens over a night golf course...

The leitmotif, motto, and authorial parting words of Ray Bradbury's stories are the words from his interview: '... in the years of your life - live. Don't give up on yourself. Don't walk around with a sour face.'
