Bradbury 100 - Episode 59 - "Lazarus Come Forth"

Bradbury 100 - Celebrating the Life and Work of American Writer Ray Bradbury

"Lazarus Come Forth" (1944) is one of a handful of early Ray Bradbury stories to have slipped into the public domain. It's also one of two Bradbury stories set on board a "morgue ship" - a space ship that cleans up after space battles, collecting dead astronauts to (presumably) bring them back home for proper burial or cremation. In this episode, I bring you the background behind the story, and a complete reading of it. Enjoy! For more episodes of Bradbury 100, check out my website at www.bradburymedia.co.uk
