Dark Carnival is a collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury, first published in 1947 by Arkham House. It was Bradbury's first published book. This collection presents stories with elements of horror, fantasy, and the macabre, as one might expect from the title and the publisher's association with H.P. Lovecraft's mythos.
