User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I bought the book because three stories were never reprinted, but I know the rest of the stories were, the three were so so for the ones that I wanted, but now I know so I am happy. good copy by the way.

⭐For about 45 years I hoped to read, and possibly to own, Ray Bradbury’s Dark Carnival. It was through Amazon.com that I found out that a new limited edition was printed in 2001.After reading some of the stories that were reprinted in The October Country and a few other places, I finally got to acquire the whole thing.Bradbury and Arkham House were finally cajoled into allowing this new edition to happen, after years of refusal. Bradbury himself has brief introductions to each of the origianl stories. And four more stories from Weird Tales have been added–all very worthy ones. Plus that there are extra pieces at the beginning and end of the book by editor Donn Albright, Bradbury, and others.

⭐As the title implies, basically a dark fantasy and horror collection, of consistently decent quality, the highlight being The Small Assassin. A 3.43 average for this book.Dark Carnival : The Homecoming – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : Skeleton – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Jar – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Lake – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Tombstone – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Smiling People – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Emissary – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Traveller – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Small A55a55in – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Crowd – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Handler – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : Let’s Play ‘Poison’ – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : Uncle Einar – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Wind – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Night – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : There Was an Old Woman – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Dead Man – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Man Upstairs – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : Cistern – Ray BradburyDark Carnival : The Next in Line – Ray BradburyI want to feel the wind beneath my wings.

⭐Just a few words about this timeless classic. I have just received this deluxeedition of what is probably one of the best collections of dark tales ever. But i have to admit that i am just a little bit disappointed about the overall look of the book. Sure it is printed on good paper, has a smythsewn binding and nice typography. Compared to the standard american/english hardback this one is definetely a lot better and will look good on your bookshelves in many years from now. But hey, [$$$]!!! Thats a whole lot of money, and when you think about what other smallpress publishers can make for only half or less of that price, then i find it too be just a tiny bit too expensive. The extras are nice, especially the old letters, which unfortunately are badly reproduced here. I had also hoped that the magazinecovers that preceed each story had been bigger and in color, as they are too small and blurry.I know that the publisher will say that the book could not have been made any cheaper, especially taking in consideration the low printrun of about 700 copies, but why not have doubled/tripled the printrun which would surely have lowered the price, or made it possible to use colors inside the book. I know that mr. Bradbury probably wouldnt want to sign this many books, but then a certain part of them could have been sold unsigned. I personally would not have minded if it have meant that i would have a more beautiful book!Just my thought, and maybe i am just used to seeing better produced books here in denmark. The firsteditions here are often much more nicely produced than even expensive american limited editions!But anyway, great book and its fantastic to finally seeing it back in print!

⭐I am a huge fan of Ray Bradbury’s work from 1969. To see this book, with autographs, and in a limited edition was very exciting for me.I think the magazine covers, reproduced with the stories, should have been full page and in color. I also think the reproductions of the old letters was of a pretty poor quality. On the other hand, it was really good to see the covers of each magazine in which the story originally appeared, and I loved the inclusion of the letters at the end.My other disappointment was that I apparently did not read the fine print that would have informed me that my copy, ordered through Amazon.com, would NOT be numbered or autographed by either Bradbury or Cline — contrary to Gauntlet Press’s information. I have purchased through Amazon.com for years with GREAT satisfaction, but feel this caveat should have been much more prominent.There should have been a price for the numbered, autographed editions, and a lower price for the one that is, essentially, a general-run book.But, while I feel [the price] is too much for a book that is NOT a signed, numbered limited edition book, I am glad I have the book.Bradbury’s writing is awesome and this re-issue should have been out a long time ago.
