Dark Carnival is Ray Bradbury’s first short story collection. These twenty-seven stories had been published in the major magazines of the day, like Mademoiselle, Harper’s and Weird Tales. They bring something surprisingly new and delightfully unique to the field of the supernatural. Included are such memorable Bradbury tales as “The Homecoming,” “Skeleton,” “The Lake,” ‘The Small Assassin” and “The Next in Line.” It is an original and wonderful debut collection demonstrating an extraordinary facility for the strange and terrible.
