Synopsis

A 2026 Audie Award Finalist for Short Stories/Collections

A new recording of Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man, narrated by Marin Ireland, Ari Fliakos, and Prentice Onayemi!

The Illustrated Man, a classic collection of interconnected stories, is a seminal work in Ray Bradbury’s career, whose extraordinary power and imagination remain undimmed by time’s passage.

Ray Bradbury brings wonders alive. For this peerless American storyteller, the most bewitching force in the universe is human nature. In these eighteen startling tales unfolding across a canvas of tattooed skin, living cities take their vengeance, technology awakens the most primal natural instincts, and dreams are carried aloft in junkyard rockets. Provocative and powerful, The Illustrated Man is a kaleidoscopic blending of magic, imagination, and truth—as exhilarating as interplanetary travel, as maddening as a walk in a million-year rain, and as comforting as simple, familiar rituals on the last night of the world.

Quotes

"Ray Bradbury’s collection of 18 interconnected stories is a beloved classic. In “The Long Rain,” Prentice Onayemi captures the brooding madness of a group of astronauts who are stranded in the terminal storms of Venus. In “The Rocket,” Ari Fliakos delivers the absurd humor of a destitute father who decides that it’s better for his children to watch a “simulated illusion” than to actually go to Mars. And in “Zero Hour,” Marin Ireland pinpoints the horror of a child who is helping aliens to invade her home. Bradbury was celebrated for his universal themes and literary style, and the superb narrators make these works extra edgy."
