At night, he feels them stir—the tattoos crawling across his skin, alive with stories that demand to be told. Each image etched on the Illustrated Man’s body reveals a vision of humanity’s future: its terrors, its triumphs, and the choices that might destroy it all.
Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man gathers eighteen haunting tales, linked by the figure whose body serves as canvas and prophecy. From the end of the world to the farthest reaches of space, Bradbury explores the fragile balance between wonder and fear, hope and despair.
A cornerstone of speculative fiction from the author of The Martian Chronicles, this classic collection blurs fantasy and science fiction into something chilling, beautiful, and unforgettable. The future lives on his skin.
