Dark Carnival is a collection of the following Ray Bradbury short stories, published in October 1947: Dark Carnival was Bradbury's first published book. 3,112 copies were printed by Arkham House, under the editorial direction of August Derleth. All but six of the stories had been first published elsewhere, although Bradbury revised some of the texts. For many years, Bradbury did not permit Dark Carnival to be reprinted, since updated versions of many of the stories were collected as The October Country. However, a limited edition of Dark Carnival, with five extra stories and a new introduction by Bradbury, was printed by Gauntlet Press in 2001. On August 22, 2006, "The Homecoming" was published as a stand-alone short story with illustrations by Dave McKean.
