The first men were few. Most succumbed to a disease called the Great Loneliness when they saw their home planet dwindle to the size of a fist. They felt they had never been born. Those few that survived found no welcome on Mars. The shape-changing Martians thought they were native lunatics and duly locked them up. But more rockets arrived from Earth, and more, piercing the hallucinations projected by the Martians. People brought their old prejudices with them - and their desires and fantasies, tainted dreams. These were soon inhabited by the strange native beings, with their caged flowers and birds of flame:- Review(s): "The bitter irony of 'The Martian Chronicles' is both stark and shocking" - Guardian / "The laureate of science fiction" - Manchester Evening News / "The king of science fiction" - Mail On Sunday / "Bradbury has a remarkable range and intensity of vision" - The Sunday Times:- (original cost £5.99).

Excerpt: Dandelion Wine is a 1957 semi-autobiographical novel by Ray Bradbury, taking place in the summer of 1928 in the fictional town of Green Town, Illinois a pseudonym for Bradbury's childhood home of Waukegan, Illinois. The novel developed from the short story 'Dandelion Wine' which appeared in the June 1953 issue of Gourmet magazine. The title refers to a wine made with dandelion petals and other ingredients, commonly citrus fruit. In the story, dandelion wine, as made by the protagonist's grandfather, serves as a metaphor for packing all of the joys of summer into a single bottle. The main character of the story is Douglas Spaulding, a 12-year-old boy loosely patterned after Bradbury. Most of the book is focused upon the routines of small-town America, and the simple joys of yesteryear. As Bradbury writes in 'Just This Side of Byzantium,' a 1974 essay used as an introduction to the book, Dandelion Wine is a recreation of a boy's childhood, based upon an intertwining of Bradbury's actual experiences and his unique imagination. Farewell Summer, the official sequel to Dandelion Wine, was published in October 2006. While Farewell Summer is a direct continuation of the plot of Dandelion Wine, Something Wicked This Way Comes, a novel with a completely different plot and characters, is often paired with the latter because of their stylistic and thematic similarities. Together, the three novels form a Green Town trilogy. A fourth volume, Summer Morning, Summer Night, published in 2008, contains twenty-seven Green Town stories and vignettes, seventeen of which have never been published before. Dandelion Wine is a series of short stories loosely connected to summer occurrences, with Douglas and his family as recurring characters. Many of the chapters were first published as individual short stories, the earliest being The Night (1946), with the remainder appearing between 1950 and 1957. For chapters which began as short stories, their original titles are given in parentheses 28 pp. Englisch.

About the Book: In the course of his long, illustrious career, Ray Bradbury has created some of the most memorable and enduring fiction of our time. While no one work can adequately represent the range and depth of his achievement, it may well be that The Martian Chronicles will come to stand as his most singular accomplishment. A visionary account of the first attempt to extend the human enterprise to another planet, this unique and resonant book is both a seminal work of science fiction and a permanent addition to modern popular culture. The episodic saga begins during the ?rocket summer? of 1999, when the first outbound ships depart for Mars, leaving the bleak Ohio winter behind. It ends, 27 years later, during a ?million year picnic? which casts a harsh, reflective light on an entire civilization. Along the way, Bradbury introduces a gallery of distinctive characters, all of whom have powerful reasons for seeking a newer life. Some are actively escaping--from racism, from political and cultural repression, from the never-ending prospect of war. Some are actively searching--for adventure, for uncharted horizons, for a sense of spiritual renewal. Together, they create a frontier society as complex, varied, and tragically flawed as the one they left behind. The result is a work of philosophical humanism filled with memorable scenes and indelible images. A wealthy settler builds a new ?House of Usher? and wages bloody war against a dull and lifeless bureaucracy. Translucent ?fire balloons? offer intricate lessons in matters of the spirit. A telepathic Martian helplessly absorbs the hopes, grief, and memories of the surrounding human populace. A solitary survivor creates an automated family to help keep loneliness at bay. Moments like these offer something deeper and grander than simple entertainment. As the author pointedly reminds us: ?It is good to renew one?s wonder.? The Martian Chronicles accomplishes this task with wit, grace, and unselfconscious artistry. It will doubtless continue to do so for generations to come. With more than 50 stories, essays, introductions and two full-length screenplays by Bradbury himself, The Martian Chronicles: the Complete Edition is a volume for the permanent shelf, one which chronicles the evolution of Bradbury?s Mars from the original classic volume and beyond. The second edition will be limited to 750 cloth bound hardcover copies.

Yeah, of course you have. And I ll bet ya heard of Joe s Ray Bradbury s Fellowship award for the story 20th Century Ghost and maybe you heard he also received the William L. Crawford award for best new fantasy writer in 2006, the A. E. Coppard Long Fiction Prize in 1999 for Better Than Home and the 2006 World Fantasy Award for Voluntary Committal . His stories have appeared in a variety of magazines, such as Postscripts, Subterranean Magazine and The High Plains Literary Review, and in many anthologies. Well, it s 10 years since, overloaded to the back teeth with projects, CD Head Honcho Richard Chizmar sent Joe our way to ask if PS might be interested in publishing his collection of tales, wrapped around the title of that Bradbury Fellowship story. On the night Joe responded to my suggestion that he send me his three best yarns. I read Ghost , Pop Art (sheer genius and containing a killer closing line) and, heck, you know, I don t recall the third one. I do recall dropping him a line first thing the next morning and asking for a phone number and I called and we spoke and we made a deal and, well, you know the rest 20TH CENTURY GHOSTS, GUNPOWDER, HORNS, plus a little something special just down the pike that we ll talk about a little later. But before that, just to re-whet your whistle, here s the 10th Anniversary edition of the book that started the ball rolling and which notched up in quick succession the World Fantasy Award, the British Fantasy Award, the International Horror Guild.

Condition: Near Fine. 142 photocopied typescripts of short stories written by Ray Bradbury prepared and bound at the behest of the author himself in order to keep a few copies of various stages of his stories. When doing so, he typically gave a copy to his long-time friend and principal bibliographer Donn Albright, and in most cases a copy also went to James [Jim] Welsh. Welsh and Albright were working on a bibliography of Bradbury's work, which never came to fruition. This set of stories comes from the estate of Jim Welsh, and were willed to a bookseller in Rockville, MD. Some of these stories are unpublished. Photocopied 8.5" x 11 sheets bound into blue paper folders with white title labels printed in black to the upper wrappers. All material is photocopied and there are no holographic remarks-some contain ad-hoc title pages that are photocopies derived from a file folder with the title in Bradbury's hand written on the tab; some titles and word-counts are printed on the letterhead of Bradbury's agent, Julius Schwartz; some have (photocopied) hand-corrections to the typed text or drawings which were made by Bradbury. Most titles present are unique, with only several in duplicate. Individual folders range from Near Fine to Fine, with slight wear, sunning to several folders. Titles are as follows: .It Too Returned to the Night; A Gift from the People; A Literary Encounter; A Matter of Taste; A Minor Masterpiece; A Noise like Love; A Rocket for the Reverend; A Thousand Times Great Grandma; A Touch of Petulance (Radio Play); A Trip to Cranamocket (The Grand October Excursion or West of October); Fee Fie Foe Fum; Fly Away Home; For Sale: Tomorrow; Free Dirt (The Mound Maker); From Now On--; Gallagher the Great (The Dancing Magician); Grandma and the Gettysburg Address; Grendel, Hallowe'en in July; Have I Got a Chocolate Bar For You; House Divided; I Wonder what's Become of Sally?; If Paths Must Cross Again; In Search of a Son; In the Eye of the Beholder; Interference; Just in Case;, Just to be Let Alone; Kaleidoscope: A Plat in One Act; Karpwell's Pyramid; Lafayette Farewell; Lamplight; Lorelei; Lots of Time; Ma Perkins Comes to Stay; Marie Koppee Tee-Ell-Ee-Go-Skee; Massinello Pietro (What Have I Done?; Mechanical Man; Minority Problem; Miss Remembrance; Modern Moral Tales No. 1 "Paul's Neighbor"; Moment of Spring, Mr. Bacteria (Mister B.); Mr. Electrico; No Hiding Place; None Are So Blind; Noon Conversation;, Number One; O, Time in Thy Flight; Once Upon a Time; One Night in Your Life; One Woman Show (The Magic Lady); Onward, Christian Mama!; Payment in Full; Poor Bob Terle, Did You Hear?; Probability Zero; Quicker than the Eye; R is for Rocket; Rain before Morning; Rapunzel; Referent; Remember Helen Charles; Remember Sascha?
