Book review: From the dust returned by Ray Bradbury

Genre: Fantasy

From the dust returned is a collection of short stories packaged in the form of a novel. The stories center around a strange family in Illinois. This is a family of vampire like creatures, ghosts and other mythical and fantastical creatures. The stories themselves lack any real punch to them. The fantastical nature of the characters is simply used to dress up their shallowness and make them a bit less forgettable. The poetic nature of the prose and quality of writing do provide some entertainment, but there is no substantial value here.

Rating: 2 / 5, Below Average.
