Ray Bradbury Boeken

Aan het begin van Ray Bradbury's schrijverscarrière staat zijn verhalenbundel 'Dark Carnival' - een van de meest befaamde klassieken die de science fiction kent! Een door de auteur later herziene uitgave beleefde, als Ballantine Science Fiction Classic, indertijd de ene herdruk na de andere; in 1970 werd het boek, nadat het lange tijd uitverkocht was, opnieuw uitgebracht in Amerika, in een dure gebonden editie. Het beste hieruit vindt men in de goedkope Nederlandse uitgave bijeengebracht, aangevuld met enige hoogtepunten uit twee andere Bradbury-bundels: 'Fahrenheit 451' en 'The Golden Apples of the Sun'.
