Don't think I've heard of that one. Who wrote it? Isaac Asimov. I picked up a book on some of his short stories. It's about a planet that faces darkness that comes around every 2,000 years, where everyone treats it as the end of the world. |

I'll try to find it in my library. |

Isaac Asimov's best book is Caves of Steel, and it's a full-length book, not a short story. The sequel to Caves of Steel, titled The Naked Sun, is also rather good, but the next and last book in the series, Robots of the Dawn, reads off like bad erotica in some parts. |

If I had to chose between Bradbury and Asimov, Asimov would win. I'm not sure what it is, but Asimov's writing style captivates me. Bradbury seems like something only I could do with a lot of time on my hands. Oh yes. Martians. I see Mars everywhere in Bradbury's works, it kinda gets boring after awhile. |

Just give me a sec to make another thread, it's going to be about the alphabet and science fiction. I'll provide the link when I'm done. Also, Bradbury's best work is without a doubt Fahrenheit 451. |

Also, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._P._Lovecraft Look at Genre. He's a sort of gray area. Many people would say his works fall under the category of "weird fiction" (A blend of Horror, Sci-Fi, and Fantasy). |
