Ray Bradbury's Books to be Released in Ebook Form

Posted on April 13, 2013

William Morrow announced that sixteen of Ray Bradbury's classic titles will be released in ebook form. The publisher will release more titles over the next several months. Alexandra Bradbury, one of Bradbury's four daughters, had this to say in a a statement: "The entire Bradbury family is excited to know that Dad's work will finally be available to all readers: traditional print readers and the new generation of digital readers. We're especially pleased that digital editions of Bradbury books will be available through libraries as well as e-retailers, as Ray Bradbury was an ardent supporter of our great public library system."

Here are the release dates for the first sixteen titles:

April 16: Bradbury Speaks, Death Is a Lonely Business, A Graveyard for Lunatics, Now and Forever, One More for the Road, Green Shadows, White Whale.

April 23: Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked This Way Comes, We'll Always Have Paris.

April 30: The Illustrated Man, Quicker Than the Eye, Driving Blind, The October Country, The Cat's Pajamas, Let's All Kill Constance, A Medicine for Melancholy and Other Stories.

Bradbury was notorious for his disdain of ebooks, although over time he was slowly warming up to the idea of digital books. Before his death, he relented and allowed Fahrenheit 451 to be published in digital form. We're really glad that his family decided to authorize the digital versions. His works should be available to as many people as possible. It's clear that Morrow included the thoughts of his daughter to let fans know that this is what his family wanted.
