How hysterical!! In grad school, I remember having a long discussion with a friend who contended that Bradbury's SF Opus (Martian Chronicles, etc) made him an SF writer. My contention was, like your notion, that he was more than a simple SF writer. "Something wicked this way comes" is a combination of thriller/horror/SF, for instance. And then there are his Illinois prairie stories.

The Green Town stories, definitively not SF — though kinda sorta fantasy of the lightest sort, if one squints — are among Bradbury's most evocative tales.
