A Memory of Murder (1984) is a collection of fifteen mystery short stories by American writer Ray Bradbury. They were originally published from 1944 to 1948 in pulp magazines owned by that specialized in detective and crime fiction. Bradbury tried his hand in the genre but found the results unsatisfactory. He referred to the stories as "the walking wounded" in his introduction to A Memory of Murder. Bradbury returned to the mystery genre in 1985 with the publication of his novel Death Is a Lonely Business, and its two sequels, A Graveyard for Lunatics and Let's All Kill Constance.
