Order of Ray Bradbury Books
Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was an American author of fantasy, sci-fi, horror and mysteries. Although he was best known for his more than 500 short stories, he is best known for his novel Fahrenheit 451. A reader from a young age, some of his early influences included authors like Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells and Arthur C. Clarke. In his teens and early twenties, he was writing short stories for pulp magazines. After his death in June 2012, the New York Times wrote in his obituary that he was “the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream.” President Obama also issued an official statement.
Ray Bradbury became a published author in November 1941, earning $15 for the story Pendulum, which he co-wrote with Henry Hasse. His first full-length publication was the short story collection Dark Carnival in 1947. His first novel was 1953’s Fahrenheit 451.
