Journal Entry 1 by Too-Ticki from Uppsala, Uppland Sweden on Friday, May 16, 2003
I really enjoyed Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" and "Death is a Lonely Business", but I'm not a big reader of short stories. I love the framing story, however (from the blurb): "He was a big man. Massive. And every inch of him was Illustrated. When his flesh twitched the colours burned in three dimensions. And the people moved, the tiny mouths flickered and the voices rose, small and muted. Sixteen Illustrations, sixteen tales. The first Illustration quivered and came to life..."

Very well written, of course, but science fiction from the fifties tends to be a little outdated.

Sending to the Ray Bradbury-project. I've been asked to add something Danish to the book, since it's travelling so far, so I'm placing a political satire comic inside as a bookmark. Even if the finder gets it translated, it probably won't make much sense - but it's very Danish...
