The last time we looked at this mystery/suspence collection, we focused on a relatively-unknown writer. This time, we've got an audio version of a story from the collection, one written by a well-known author, Ray Bradbury.
A note on some of the lesser-known authors in this collection: I finally ended up overpaying to have my own paperback because there are a few stories I can't find anywhere. I remember when people used half.com and eBay and Amazon to sell off their personal book collections and then there was a glut and books didn't fetch enough for sellers to make a profit. The old race to the bottom. Now giant warehouses have bought all the books and warehoused them and any used book is a collectible and I pay through the nose unless I have a lucky day at a yard sale or the thrift store. But some of these authors and their stories, better known in the 1940s when the original edition came out, have faded into obscurity and so hace the popular magazines which once printed these tales. The entire system of libraries in my state had neither this collection nor other anthologies with some of these stories. So I bought this worn paperback and feel glad I could find any version at all for some of these selctions.
