THE OCTOBER COUNTRY
Book ID/图书代码： 03890004B05989
English Summary/英文概要： This collection of Ray Bradbury selections includes 14 of his early stories, along with "Homecoming" and "The Small Assassin," plus five, more recent tales.
Bizarre, terrifying, fantastic, Bradbury’s parables always have something more than horror to impart. For the underlying theme is the distortion and disguises of love in a world that sorely needs the real thing.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 『十月國度』是個充滿幻想的神秘國度，
這裡的居民滿懷秋天的心事，
長夜漫漫無盡，昏暗的薄暮與黎明滯留不去。
這個國度多的是各種暗處：地下室、地窖、煤倉、櫥櫃、閣樓……
每個暗處都藏著不同的詭計；
數萬個嬰兒中總會有一、兩個特別早熟的『迷你殺手』？！
狗狗是病榻上小主人探索外界的使者，卻可能帶回意外的訪客？！
鎮上發生多起血腥事件，原來秘密就藏在彩色玻璃之後？！
而專治頭痛的骨科密醫居然把病人變成了……
十九篇風格各異的奇幻恐怖故事，驚人的奇想也隨之無盡延伸，
令人不禁讚嘆，這個國度不愧是雷‧布萊伯利最原汁原味的代表力作！
