I got one of his short story collections called the cats pyjama's (i think i havent read it in about 3 babies now) and it was awesome. Loved farenhiet 451, and I also really enjoyed his story about the evil circus (wish i could remember that name too). Gotta dig through the old book totes in the basement.

"The Veldt" still haunts me after reading it for the first time in 7th grade.

I'm wondering if Ray Bradbury had a huge influence on Stephen Kings craft? I'm thinking of the most freightening Stephen King novel I've read.

IT. There were times reading that scary tale when I just had to put it down to regain the courage to finish it. That book was a tour de force in terror.
