The Illustrated Man

The tattooed man moves, and in the arcane designs scrawled upon his skin swirl tales beyond imagining: tales of love and laughter darkness and death, of mankind’s glowing, golden past and its dim, haunted future. Here are eighteen incomparable stories that blend magic and truth in a kaleidoscope tapestry of wonder—woven by the matchless imagination of Ray Bradbury.
