New BRADBURY 100 episode: DARK CARNIVAL New Edition

Today is a special day for Bradbury fans. For the first time in 23 years, there is a new edition of Ray's first book, Dark Carnival.

This also marks the first time that Dark Carnival has ever been available as a paperback or an e-book. You can get it from all good bookshops, including Amazon UK.

To celebrate, here's a new episode of Bradbury 100 where I detail the various editions of Dark Carnival and explain why it isn't the same book as The October Country!

For reasons unknown (to me), these new editions are only available in the UK, but in the episode I give advice on how to get it shipped to the US (or anywhere outside of the UK).

For more information on Dark Carnival - including photos and a video I made about the book - check out this previous blog post: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2020/03/lockdown-choices-issue-1-dark-carnival.html

And if I've left you confused about the differences between Dark Carnival and The October Country, here's a previous blog post where I attempt to map the differences between the two books: https://bradburymedia.blogspot.com/2020/05/from-dark-carnival-to-small-assassin.html

And here's the podcast episode. Enjoy!

New BRADBURY 100 Episode - Chronological Bradbury: 1942

Time for another new episode of my Bradbury 100 podcast, and it's another one of the occasional "Chronological Bradbury" series. This time, we hit 1942, the year when Ray broke through to the two leading science fiction and fantasy pulp magazines of the time: Astounding Science Fiction and Weird Tales.

It's actually a fairly quiet year, as Ray only published two stories in 1942. (But he was evidently busy writing, because the following years will be full of professional appearances.)

The two stories I cover today are "Eat, Drink and Be Wary", from July 1942, which you can read in full here...

...and "The Candle", from November 1942, which is available here.

I hope you enjoy the episode!
