“There is no more fitting tribute to my friend Ray Bradbury than a compilation of wonderful short stories! Ray is a champion of libraries and one of America’s most inventive teller of tales. I cherish many happy times engrossed in his stories. This anthology reflects the high imagination, visionary ideas, and fantastic writing that Ray is loved and known for around the world.”–Laura Bush

“Ray Bradbury is without a doubt, one of this, or any century’s greatest and most imaginative writers. SHADOW SHOW, a book of truly great stories, is the perfect tribute to America’s master storyteller.” –Stan Lee

“SHADOW SHOW is a treasure-trove for Ray Bradbury enthusiasts as for all readers who are drawn to richly imaginative, deftly plotted, startlingly original and unsettling short fiction. No one who knows their darkly fantastic fiction would be surprised to see such renowned names here as Ramsey Campbell, Harlan Ellison, Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Audrey Niffenegger, and Kelly Link; but it is something of a surprise to see Dave Eggers, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Dan Chaon, and Bonnie Jo Campell in this gathering, all of them Ray Bradbury admirers, and all so gifted. The tributes to Ray Bradbury that follow each of the stories are particularly interesting, often heartwarming and inspiring.” –Joyce Carol Oates

“Great new tales of imagination in the Bradbury tradition.” — Hugh Hefner

“What is amazing (about SHADOW SHOW) is the range of authors. The roster includes a list of distinguished writers both expected and not. What is also amazing is the potential audience for this treasury, which includes lovers of fiction regardless of any previous attraction to SF or Fantasy. . . . an exciting book.” — Brad Hooper, Booklist

“This is a dazzling and brilliant homage to an author whose eternal and forward-thinking fiction raced ahead of history, often predicting the future with uncanny accuracy.” — The Tomb of Dark Delights

“Bradbury biographer Weller and horror doyen Castle have produced a fine remembrance of a great writer, a deeply moving testament to his enduring appeal.” — Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“It really is a Who’s Who of the absolutely best in modern literature. The result may be the greatest collection of short stories ever compiled.” — Houston Press

“Nearly all of the tales in here capture the magic of Bradbury, whether in the story itself or in the anecdotes which follow. No matter how odd or dark the story, the contributors remember that part of the master’s allure was to keep the story grounded in “reality,” even if reached to the further corner of outer space. We’ve been to these places, with these characters. — Dave Simms, HorrorWorld
