Description

Published 2001

Gauntlet presents Ray Bradbury’s first (and almost impossible to find) short story collection DARK CARNIVAL. Anyone who has read any of our previous Ray Bradbury “classic-revisited” books knows this is not just a reprint of the original, but the definitive edition.

The cover art for this book is the haunting Bradbury oil painting you see on this page, which Bradbury painted around the time he wrote DARK CARNIVAL. It was not painted for the book, but is a perfect cover for this lost classic. As we did with Richard Matheson’s HUNGER AND THIRST there is no lettering on the cover. There is a lot of detail you can’t make out in this image that enhances the art, so the title appears only on the book’s spine. The jacket design is by Donn Albright and Buddy Martinez.

Clive Barker, a great fan of Bradbury’s work, wrote an afterword and signed the Lettered along with Bradbury.

Here is the Table of Contents of the original edition. We printed that edition as originally published (re-typeset, of course) and then added our many bells and whistles.
