Summary:
This volume in the Library of America Bradbury edition brings together the complete texts of his two most acclaimed story collections, plus twenty-seven other tales from the 1940s, '50s, and '60s--one of America's greatest storytellers at his very best. Bound together by the mysterious figure of an elaborately tattooed outcast, the eighteen stories in The Illustrated Man explore the dehumanizing possibilities of technology and plumb the dark heart of human brutality. The October Country collects nineteen tales: macabre carnival stories, chilling horror, and fantasy light and dark, with the original artwork by Joseph Mugnaini beautifully restored for this edition. Twenty-seven additional stories include such classics as 'Frost and Fire,' 'The Pedestrian,' 'I Sing the Body Electric!,' and hard-to-find wonders like 'Asleep in Armageddon' and 'The Lost City of Mars.' -- Back cover.
