Now, before you start screaming, let me explain: this novel has its origins in a previously-published short story, "The Black Ferris" (1948). And Dandelion Wine also looks something like a novel, but is really another collection of previously-published short stories, stitched together into a new patchwork.Īnd that leaves us with the present volume, the definitely, no question about it, never before published original novel Something Wicked This Way Comes.Įxcept. Fahrenheit 451 is barely long enough to count as a novel (it's more of a novella), and in any case is an expansion of a previously published short story, "The Fireman". What do I mean by that? Well, The Martian Chronicles looks something like a novel, but it's really a collection of previously-published short stories, stitched together into a new patchwork. At this point, I've more or less given up! It is - definitely - his first true novel. The Book Something Wicked is Ray Bradbury's twelfth(ish) book, depending how you count them.
