5/21/2023 0 Comments The sound of thunder bradbury![]() ![]() I speak of course of "A Sound of Thunder", Bradbury's cautionary fable about the perils of undervaluing the smaller specimens of the animal kingdom and (for my money, anyway) the greatest story ever written on the subject of time travel. This includes the story featuring arguably the most notorious bug in Bradbury's canon, this one not a raving, humanoid lunatic who likes terrorising innocent leisure seekers with prophecies of genetic evil, but an unassuming, ostensibly passive creature whose true significance does not become apparent until the very end, having spent most of the story being upstaged by a larger, more commanding beast. At the very least, the Bradbury works that have struck the deepest, most personal chords with myself tend to involve creepy-crawlies to some capacity. Ray Bradbury and members of the anthropod kingdom make an exceedingly good combination. ![]()
