Ray Bradbury's second book, published after Dark Carnival, but before Fahrenheit 451 and his other classics. Difficult to find in the original jacket. The Martian Chronicles cannot be labeled a novel, per se. Perhaps a better description is an inter-dependent short story collection; Bradbury himself called The Martian Chronicles a "half-cousin to a novel." The stories in this book were previously published in various science fiction periodicals of the 1940s. The book became a bestseller, and cemented Bradbury's reputation as a force in the science fiction community.
