Purchase options and add-ons

Detailing the adventures of a supernatural clan of vampires, witches, and assorted monstrosities, Ray Bradbury’s Elliott family stories are a unique component of his extensive literary output. Written between 1946 and 1994, Bradbury eventually quilted the stories together into a novel, From the Dust Returned (2001), making it a creative project that spanned his adult life. Not only do the stories focus on a single familial unit, engaging with overlapping twentieth-century themes of family, identity and belonging, they were also unique in their time, interrogating post-war American ideologies of domestic unity while reinventing and softening gothic horror for the Baby Boomer generation. Centred around diverse interpretations of the Elliott Family stories, this collection of critical essays recovers the Elliotts for academic purposes by exploring how they form a collective gothic mythos while ranging across distinct themes. Essays included discuss the diverse ways in which the Elliott stories pose questions about difference and Otherness in America; engage with issues of gender, sexuality, and adolescence; and interrogate complex discourses surrounding history, identity, community, and the fantasy of family.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"a comprehensive compendium which fulfils a conspicuous gap in existing Bradbury scholarship…this volume is a must-read for Bradbury scholars and fans who might be unaware of his supernatural works and are thus missing out on a critically relevant and intellectually stimulating aspect of his career."

- Amy Bride, Fantastika Journal, Volume 6 Issue 1 - Embodying Fantastika

Steve Gronert Ellerhoff is a graduate of the University of Iowa (2002) and the Creative Writing MA at Lancaster University in England (2003). He also holds an MPhil in Literatures of the Americas (2011) and a PhD in English (2014) from Trinity College, Dublin. He has held jobs as a popcorn concessionist, a janitor, a projectionist, a file clerk, an assistant manager, a research assistant, a teaching assistant, a legal assistant, an adjunct professor, and once upon a time, for five years and a day, he worked his way up to Director of Wind-Up Toys at Finnegan's Toys & Gifts in downtown Portland, Oregon. Tin robots, flipping kangaroos, and chattering teeth eventually gave way to mythology, and he spent four years studying literary criticism and depth psychology in Ireland, living at the lip of the Irish Sea in Bray.

Routledge is publishing his PhD research for their Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies series, titled Post-Jungian Psychology and the Short Stories of Ray Bradbury and Kurt Vonnegut: Golden Apples of the Monkey House (2016). Along with Philip Coleman of Trinity College, Dublin, he is also co-editing George Saunders: Critical Essays, the first book-length work of criticism on the author. Another book, Mole, for the Animal Series published by Reaktion Books in the UK, is in the works. Not only a scholar but also a writer of fiction, he often collaborates with English artist Kevin Storrar. Their combined literary and artistic efforts include the novel Time's Laughingstocks (2013) and Tales from the Internet, a story collection (2015). Another novel, The Hedgehog's Dilemma, is forthcoming.

    The Kindle version cannot be opened on a Kindle! It is only compatible with the Kindle apps and tablets like the Fire. But not with any e-ink Kindle.

    I can't comment on the content of the book, as I haven't been able to read it!
