I have to confess that the only Bradbury books I’ve read are the ‘popular’ two – The Martian Chronicles and Fahrenheit 451. Plus his short story I Sing the Body Electric after I heard the song of the same name in the film Fame, which had nothing to do with the Bradbury story but was just a good song to my 14-year-old self. And yes, I did own several pairs of leg-warmers . . .

I do have all the Arthur C. Clarke Space Odyssey books though, plus several Philip K. Dick and (my personal favourite in this category) John Wynhams. The original (1960) The Village of the Damned (based on The Midwich Cockoos) is right up there with Quatermass and the Pit for old fashioned b/w creepy. Only ‘modern’ film I’ve seen that comes close is The Others.
