This book is truly unique – it is Bradbury’s very first collection, and since then it has effectively not been reissued, nor has it been available anywhere else in the world in any language for several decades! Individual stories from “Dark Carnival” (including such classics as “The Wanderer” and “The Small Assassin,” “The Scythe” and “Uncle Einar”) were revised and included in later collections, but Bradbury категорically refused to reissue his debut in its original form.
