On the Cornell Woolrich novels published by Penguin, the covers carry a
blurb from Ray Bradbury: "Woolrich deserves to be discovered and
rediscovered by every generation."

I didn't notice it so much while reading the stories in "Rear Window,"
but as I read "I Married a Dead Man," it's very obvious that Bradbury's
style was very much influenced by Woolrich--the attention to certain
types of atmospheric/emotional details, pacing in passages, and in
phrasing.--Duane
