This book is truly unique—it is Bradbury's very first collection, which has remained virtually unpublished and unavailable anywhere in the world or in any language for 60 years! Individual stories from Dark Carnival (including such classics as 'The Wanderer' and 'The Little Killer,' 'The Scythe' and 'Uncle Einar') were reworked and included in later collections, but Bradbury categorically refused to republish his debut in its original form.
