A Sound of Thunder and Other Stories
With his disarmingly simple style and complex imagination, Ray Bradbury has seized the minds of American readers for decades.This collection showcases thirty-two of Bradbury's most famous tales in which he lays bare the depths of the human soul. The thrilling title story, A Sound of Thunder, tells of a hunter sent on safari -- sixty million years in the past. But all it takes is one wrong step in the prehistoric jungle to stamp out the life of a delicate and harmless butterfly -- and possibly something else much closer to home ...

I picked this collection up to specifically read A Sound of Thunder - one of Bradbury's most prolific short stories. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint. Along the way I found some interesting gems like The Fog Horn - an interesting piece of cryptozoological fiction, - and The Murderer - a fun little story about obsession that featured truly outstanding writing. Some stories, however, were a bit dated and felt more like a Duck Dodgers's vision of the future. There were a lot of boys dreaming about rockets and girls missing their earthly homes - something I wish was challenged a bit.
