I know there were a few parts of The Martian Chronicles that had been in other short stories. Maybe that was one, perhaps?

> I haven't read "Martian Chronicles", so I can't help. I can tell you that "The Silver Locusts" is a full novel. It also has an very moving scene set on Earth after the great war has destroyed everything. There is one house left standing and it is fully autonomous and going about its daily business, with robots cleaning and preparing food, but there are no humans left.

I haven't read "The Silver Locusts" but I read that autonomous house story as one of his short stories. It *does* look as if he just compiled a whole lot of his stories into longer novels.
