Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was an American writer known for his contributions to fantasy, science fiction, horror, and mystery genres. While he authored over 500 short stories, he is most recognized for his novel Fahrenheit 451. A lifelong reader, his early influences included authors such as Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.G. Wells, and Arthur C. Clarke. In his teenage years and early twenties, he wrote short stories for pulp magazines. Following his passing in June 2012, the New York Times noted in his obituary that he was “the writer most responsible for bringing modern science fiction into the literary mainstream.” President Obama also released an official statement. Bradbury became a published author in November 1941, earning $15 for the story Pendulum, co-written with Henry Hasse. His first full-length publication was the short story collection Dark Carnival in 1947, and his debut novel was Fahrenheit 451, released in 1953.
