Science fiction giant Ray Bradbury, 91,
died Tuesday night in Los Angeles after a long illness, his grandson Danny
Karapetian and biographer Sam Weller confirmed to
i09. Bradbury, author of more than 600 short stories, and 30 novels
including classic works such as THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES and FAHRENHEIT 451, had
only this year made those two books and other novels available in digital
editions, published by Simon & Schuster. "If I had to make any
statement, it would be how much I love and miss him, and I look forward to
hearing everyone's memories about him," Karapetian said. "He
influenced so many artists, writers, teachers, scientists, and it's always
really touching and comforting to hear their stories. Your stories. His legacy
lives on in his monumental body of books, film, television and theater, but
more importantly, in the minds and hearts of anyone who read him, because to
read him was to know him. He was the biggest kid I know."
