The Martian
Chronicles
(also known as The Silver Locusts (UK)
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.
