Ray Bradbury | Beyond Midnight - The Small Assassin || 1969

Ray Bradbury - Beyond Midnight || The No-Name Baby (a.k.a. The Small Assassin) || January 10, 1969

First published in the November, 1946 issue of Dime Mystery.

David and Alice Leiber are a happily married couple living in Los Angeles, but when Alice gives birth to a healthy baby boy, she fears the baby is somehow abnormal and will kill her. She expresses her fears to her husband, who dismisses them and tries to comfort her. Their family doctor, Dr. Jeffers, explains that it is not unusual for some women to experience such feelings after the birth of a child—especially in Alice's case, as she almost died of complications of a Caesarean section during delivery.
