Ray Bradbury made his name with tales of whimsical horror-fantasy. As his fame grew, so did the stories' powerful elements of sentiment and nostalgia. Again and again he looks back to a magical 1920s/1930s America of perfect soda fountains, card sharps on trains, women adjusting seamed stockings, Hallowe'en with no commercial hype, and the tatty glory of small-time travelling circuses--all seen through starry, childlike eyes. In this vein, surprisingly, Bradbury can often touch the hearts of non-Americans: it's a curiously portable, exportable nostalgia. The 21 stories in Driving Blind offer much successful whimsy and yearning along these lines. It seems strange, though, that they're marketed as fantasy. Only three tales fit that label, featuring a bewildered revenant, a trapped shapeshifter and--discovered on a spaceship, hoping to conquer new worlds--Death himself. A couple more are ambiguous; one is comic (though not supernatural) horror in the cheekiest vein of Bradbury's early grotesque nasties. Driving blind on these mystery tours can lead to surprises and fun, but also to disappointment if you believe the packaging and hope for a whole book of fantasies.
