The mummies? The atmosphere of the strange little town? What? Why? And the twist, such as it was, was limp. ![]() Yes, Bradbury makes us aware of the woman’s creeping terror. I didn’t think this story was very well written. The woman is haunted to the point of exhaustion and wants to leave. While there, they tour a mausoleum of sorts where the dead whose families can not afford burial or grave maintenance are stored. However, it is a strong narrative and has two strong characters and a decent climax.Ī couple are stuck in a small Mexican village where their car broke down. So, much of the whimsy that has come to characterize Bradbury’s writing is not there. He’s established, but still having to prove himself to the pulp editors. ![]()
