The stories that scare often have a thread of truth in them. Sometimes there's much more than a thread, like when a story is based on a real person or series of crime. You'd never expect truth from Ray Bradbury one of the greats of American speculative-fiction. But in 'Dandelion Wine', Bradbury's debut novel, there's very little sci-fi or spec-fic to be found. He did, however, create one of the creepiest throwaway characters of his career with the coolest villain name: The Lonely One.
As it turns out, The Lonely One was based on a real figure from Bradbury's childhood -- a cat-burglar and boogeyman that scared the you-know-what out of any kids growing up in the area of Waukegan, IL, Bradbury's childhood home. This minisode holds both figures up to the light and we see what's similar and what's unique to each of these creeps.
