This book deeply disturbed me the first time I tried to read it. My young mind had already devoured sci-fi novels for grown-ups. Several Ray Bradbury short story collections already earned him a life-long place in my literary heart. But these illustrations by Ian Miller really freaked me out!
Have a look for yourself. I sacrificed a battered copy of this edition of The Martian Chronicles to the gods of art and Internet immortality so that you may revel in the strange, unearthly, and somewhat maniacal artwork. Enjoy the stark beauty of Miller’s Martian landscape, and the creepy-crawly nightmares he conjures up for this most famous of Ray Bradbury epics.

I have several different editions of ‘The Martian Chronicles’ but this is by far my favorite. I take it down from the shelf at least two or three times a year.

I’m with you on it being a personal favorite. This summer, one reader sent me an image file where he put together all these illustrations to use as a desktop background. It’s pretty awesome!
