The Bradbury Chronicles is a celebration of the life and work of science-fiction master Ray Bradbury. It is also an ode to the spoken word, an exploration of the art and joy of storytelling. Bradbury's prose has a poetry and musicality that just begs to be read out loud, so that's what I will be doing. Stick me in your ears (if that's not too weird, it is isn't it??) and enjoy the flow of Bradbury's words.

Season Two begins, I am taking a dive into the weird and mysterious world of the The Illustrated Man and each episode will be a look at a different chapter of the book, starting with the prologue until we reach the end of the novel. Great mystery awaits with many a twist and turn along the way. I am excited to share the journey with you.

This month's episode is the Prologue where we meet the Illustrated Man for the first time and start to hear his strange tale, has a witch travelled from the future to curse him to walk the earth like Cain, and what will the stranger see in the blank space? Tune in to find out.

Let me know what you thought of the prologue? Are you excited to find out what happens to the illustrated man and his companion? Whatever your thoughts you can now share them in the Bradbury Chronicles Forum, so join the chat today... https://www.facebook.com/groups/TWOTWLISCHAT/
