Description

In 2000, Ray Bradbury turned 80. On the occasion of this notable date, the publishing house released the novella “All Hallows’ Eve” and stories from different years united by the theme of love and death. The text is accompanied by an introductory article: “Yu. Koratkevich — Bradbury, who returns.” The plot of the novella “All Hallows’ Eve” takes place on the eve of All Saints’ Day—the night of October 31. The holiday begins—Halloween, a paradise for everyone who wants to misbehave with impunity: costumes, masks— and what masks! A skeleton, a Werewolf, the Eternal Dead Man, the Black Cat, a Mummy, a Witch, a Gallows Man—there’s plenty to scare a lonely passerby… Listen and you’ll become a participant in this fantastic carnival of excesses.
