Books by Ray Bradbury

Ray Bradbury (1920–2012) was an American author who wrote across science fiction, fantasy, horror, and literary fiction, producing some of the most widely read short fiction of the twentieth century. He is best known for Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, and for short story collections including The Illustrated Man. Bradbury was a self-described romantic humanist who distrusted technology and celebrated imagination. He did not have a driver's license, never flew in an airplane, and wrote on a rented typewriter in a library basement. He received a National Medal of Arts in 2004.
