Shadow Show: All New Stories in Celebration of Ray Bradbury
Ray Bradbury
Shipping Update: All copies have shipped.
Under a joint imprint, Gauntlet Press and Borderlands
Press will publish a limited, signed, and numbered edition of SHADOW SHOW
a tribute anthology to celebrate the career of Ray Bradbury. In SHADOW SHOW,
editors Sam Weller and Mort Castle have assembled short stories from 26 of the
most celebrated authors today to honor Ray and his contribution to the
literary canon. Also included is an Introduction in the form of a personal
essay "Second Homecoming", written by Ray Bradbury, specifically for for the
book.
Dave Eggers did not sign the tipsheets for the signed numbered edition. He was out of town indefinitely, we were told, and we felt it more important to get the books to customers than to have them wait what could have been two months or longer.

"There is no more fitting tribute to my friend Ray Bradbury than a compilation of wonderful short stories! Ray is a champion of libraries and one of America’s most inventive teller of tales. I cherish many happy times engrossed in his stories. This anthology reflects the high imagination, visionary ideas, and fantastic writing that Ray is loved and known for around the world."--Laura Bush
"Ray Bradbury is without a doubt, one of this, or any century's greatest and most imaginative writers. SHADOW SHOW, a book of truly great stories, is the perfect tribute to America's master storyteller." --Stan Lee
"SHADOW SHOW is a treasure-trove for Ray Bradbury enthusiasts as for all readers who are drawn to richly imaginative, deftly plotted, startlingly original and unsettling short fiction. No one who knows their darkly fantastic fiction would be surprised to see such renowned names here as Ramsey Campbell, Harlan Ellison, Margaret Atwood, Neil Gaiman, Audrey Niffenegger, and Kelly Link; but it is something of a surprise to see Dave Eggers, Jacquelyn Mitchard, Dan Chaon, and Bonnie Jo Campell in this gathering, all of them Ray Bradbury admirers, and all so gifted. The tributes to Ray Bradbury that follow each of the stories are particularly interesting, often heartwarming and inspiring."--Joyce Carol Oates
"Great new
tales of imagination in the Bradbury tradition." -- Hugh Hefner
"What is amazing (about SHADOW SHOW) is the range of authors.
The roster includes a list of distinguished writers both expected and not.
What is also amazing is the potential audience for this treasury, which
includes lovers of fiction regardless of any previous attraction to SF or
Fantasy. . . . an exciting book." -- Brad Hooper, Booklist
"This is a dazzling and brilliant homage to an author whose eternal and forward-thinking fiction raced ahead of history, often predicting the future with uncanny accuracy." -- The Tomb of Dark Delights
"Bradbury biographer Weller and horror doyen Castle have produced a fine remembrance of a great writer, a deeply moving testament to his enduring appeal." -- Publishers Weekly Starred Review
"It really is a Who's Who of the absolutely best in modern literature. The result may be the greatest collection of short stories ever compiled." -- Houston Press
"Nearly all of the tales in here capture the magic of Bradbury, whether in the story itself or in the anecdotes which follow. No matter how odd or dark the story, the contributors remember that part of the master’s allure was to keep the story grounded in ‘our’ reality, even if reached to the further corner of outer space. We’ve been to these places, with these characters. -- Dave Simms, HorrorWorld
