"I loved this reading of the classic tale. I was enthralled! This was actually my first ever audiobook, and I'm glad I spent the time setting up an account. This book was a welcome accompaniment on daily walks with my dog, during a life transition. The story was ominous and the narration really lent the experience a classic horror vibe without being cheesy."

“One of the great classics of fantasy…A nightmarishly gripping page-turner.”
— SFSite.com“If rational beings had created the 100 best books of the century list, this one would surely have been on it.”
— Denver Rocky Mountain News“A dark fantasy set in a small town, its people are brought to life so expertly readers feel very much like citizens...Bradbury’s prose is musical and hypnotic, fully engaging the senses and emotions. This is a book, once opened, that truly makes the real world disappear.”
— Science Fiction Magazine“Spectacular.”
