Summary
The world’s only time traveler finally reveals his secret. An old man’s memory of World War I conjures ghostly parachutists. An Egyptian mummy turns up in an Illinois cornfield. A lonely Martian prepares to face his doom.
From the iconic author of Fahrenheit 451, Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Martian Chronicles, and The Illustrated Man, The Toynbee Convector is a true cause for celebration. The twenty-two classic tales in this special Ray Bradbury collection begin in the familiar rooms and landscapes of our lives, in common thoughts and memories, and then take off into the farthest reaches of the imagination. “The fiction creates the truth in this lovely exercise in utopian dreaming” (Publishers Weekly)—stunning stories that could only come from the brilliant mind of Ray Bradbury.

Reviews
"A diverse ensemble of narrators brings this collection of speculative stories vividly to life. Each performance highlights their shifting tones of wonder, satire, and melancholy. Ali Andre Ali and Gary Furlong excel at conjuring textured voices that amplify the feeling of the uncanny. Corey Brill’s thoughtful, measured pace underscores reflective moments, while Danielle Cohen and Suehyla El-Attar Young infuse their narrations with warmth, urgency, and emotional resonance. The variety of performances ensures that each story feels distinct yet connected, sustaining engagement across the collection. Listeners are treated to an ever-changing vocal landscape that deepens the lyricism of the prose and illuminates its tone of unease. The cast captures both the stories’ strangeness and humanity, turning each tale into a rediscovered gem."
