Published when Ray Bradbury was in his 70s, "Quicker Than the Eye" was a highly anticipated release. This collection featured 21 stories that had not been previously published in book form, including "That Woman on the Lawn," a tale set in the universe of "Something Wicked This Way Comes." The afterward reveals that the title story is inspired by one of Bradbury's cherished childhood memories—a magic carnival show that left him "frozen with awe" and ignited his lifelong passion for writing.
