Books like A graveyard for lunatics by Ray Bradbury
Strange for me with a Ray Bradbury novel in that I found this a slow burn, it took a bit of reading to get into it. Thankfully for me, I persevered with it. The novel is a detective story murder mystery set in Hollywood. It's a slow-burn, drawing the reader into the milieu inhabited by the characters and gripping them with its page-turning storyline to the very end. It's a phenomenal imagination by Ray Bradbury.
First publish date: 1990
Genre: Horror/Psychological Horror
Authors: Ray Bradbury
