Yes, but they are sort of interrelated so they can read like a loosely organized small novel. They are indeed individual short stories, many published decades apart, but they are compiled together with a bit of continuity. I adore Bradbury, but I must admit it gets a bit redundant after a while. In fact, that's precisely what makes short stories so nice, you can enjoy what you like most about many authors without having to inevitably deal with what you don't like.
My Bradbury quote written on my wall (yes, literally), "It was enough just to be able to create this place, to be able to say I did it.
To say I nurtured a medieval atmosphere in a modern, incredulous world." ( 'April 2005: Usher II')
