Dark Carnival

The print run of DARK CARNIVAL was 752 copies (700 numbered and 52 lettered) Representatives for Ray Bradbury have told us he has no intention right now of authorizing a mass market or paperback edition of DARK CARNIVAL. This may be the only new edition to ever see the light of day.

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.
