io9 is reporting he passed away this morning. It doesn't seem to have made it to mainstream news yet.

My father had his entire collection. Was one of the first books I read.
There is no other SF writer that even comes close. RIP RAY:(

THE OCTOBER COUNTRY- excerpt: The Dwarf
Aimee watched the sky, quietly.
Tonight was one of those motionless hot summer nights. The concrete pier empty, the strung red, white, yellow bulbs burning like insects in the air above the wooden emptiness. The managers of the various carnival pitches stood, like melting wax dummies, eyes staring blindly, not talking, all down the line.

Author Ray Bradbury published two pieces in The New Yorker, and both are now unlocked for all.
From 1947 - complete with ads and aged yellow paper. Brilliant.
