Description: For fifty years literary circles have referred to them as “The Group”—twelve supremely talented writers from what was dubbed “the California school.” They defied convention. They changed our expectations. They were the rebels and nonconformists who gave us Something Wicked This Way Comes, Logan’s Run, I Am Legend, Deathbird Stories, and Psycho. Their stories amazed, delighted, and terrified. They established the roots of today’s literature of the fantastic, but their range was extraordinary—from science fiction to fantasy, from crime to horror, from the Wild West to contemporary small-town America.
Now these twelve talents appear together in a single anthology, with nine original stores, and three classic reprints (including a contribution by Robert Bloch that has been out of print for more than fifty years). Featuring a revealing “Group portrait” of each author, California Sorcery offers a magical blend of untethered imagination and dazzling skill—a book of wondrous surprise and rare pleasure provided by some of the world’s most brilliant storytellers.
Welcome to the group: Ray Bradbury, Richard Matheson, Harlan Ellison, Ray Russell, Charles Beaumont, George Clayton Johnson, Robert Bloch, John Tomerlin, Chad Oliver, Charles E. Fritch, William F. Nolan, and Jerry Sohl.
