In 1945, Ray published TWO short stories with the same title, "Skeleton". The more famous of the two went on to be collected in his books Dark Carnival, The October Country, and The Stories Of Ray Bradbury. The less well known "Skeleton" just appeared in an obscure magazine and has only rarely been reprinted.
The lesser known "Skeleton" is, by an accident of history, out of copyright - unlike the more familiar "Skeleton", whose copyright was diligently renewed when needed, and remains copyrighted.
I'll say more about the two "Skeletons" when I cover the story in a "Chronological Bradbury" episode later this season. But for now, just sit back and relax (as much you can when Bradbury springs a skeleton on you) and listen to this charming little tale.You can find the new pod episode using your podcast app, or through any of the podcast platforms listed at the bottom of this post.
