  • The October Country is a 1955 collection of twenty macabre short stories by Ray Bradbury. It reprints fifteen of the twenty-seven stories of his 1947 collection Dark Carnival, and adds four more of his stories previously published elsewhere. The collection was published in numerous editions by Ballantine Books. The 1955 hardcover and 1956 and 1962 softcover versions featured artwork by Joe Mugniani that was replaced in 1971 by an entirely different Bob Pepper illustration. It was again published in 1996, by Del Rey Books, a branch of Ballantine Books; the illustrations within were drawn by Joe Mugniani. In this edition there was a foreword written by Ray Bradbury himself, called "May I Die Before My Voice" in Los Angeles, California, on April 24, 1996. However, this edition's cover is not available on the internet, and is not the one shown at the bottom of the page. The October Country was published in the United Kingdom by Rupert Hart-Davis Ltd. in 1956, and reissued in 1976 by Grafton, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. The 1976 UK paperback edition includes "The Traveler", originally from the aforementioned Dark Carnival, and omits "The Next In Line", "The Lake", "The Small Assassin", "The Crowd", "Jack-In-The-Box", "The Man Upstairs" and "The Cistern". In 1999, this title was published by Avon Books, Inc. with a new introduction written by Ray Bradbury from Los Angeles, California, in January of the same year called “Homesteading the October Country” and a new cover illustration by Joe Mugnaini.
