The Martian
Chronicles
(also known as The Silver Locusts (UK)
I have written
about the origin and history of this book on my blog - click here
to read.
This table lists
the contents of The Martian Chronicles, and links to adaptations
of the stories in various media.
In 2009 a limited
edition book appeared from Subterranean Press and PS Publishing:
The Martian Chronicles: The Complete Edition. This reproduced
the "standard" Chronicles and had added sections:
one containing "other" Mars stories, and one containing
a pair of Bradbury screenplay adaptations. There were also a smattering
of articles, tributes and memoirs from writers who have been influenced
by Bradbury.
The additional
Mars stories are listed below in the second table.
