Why read it?
1 author picked The Machineries of Joy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
"The One Who Waits," one of my favorite stories in this collection, would be regarded more commonly as science fiction, as it takes place during an Earth expedition to Mars. But Ray Bradburyâs story also pioneers the classic horror trope of a small group of people falling one by one to a mysterious creature they cannot seeâand with a means of disguise highly imaginative, beautifully written, and fundamentally terrifying. Bradbury is a phenomenal writer and itâs difficult to recommend any one story without feeling certain youâve dropped the ball in not recommending another--you really can't go wrong with this entireâŚ
From Harrison's list on short horror stories on why my brain works this way.
