KRISTI PETERSEN SCHOONOVER

Ray Bradbury died today, and obviously, and I’d planned on writing a blurb about how his work had a huge influence on me in so many ways: I once was so inspired by his story “The Lake” I scribbled a short story of my own in the margins of my copy of The October Country, for example. But Jen’s thoughts were so chilling and thought-provoking, I decided to share hers instead.
