But because of writers like Ray Bradbury, I can still do these things in my mind. I can escape into the far reaches of my mind and become a boy again, leaping, running... and being able to lose myself in the innocence of fantasy and make-believe. This is a great adventure and glimpse into the heart of All Hallows Eve. And it is done masterfully
