A lifelong labor of love 55 years in the making, From the Dust Returned is the long awaited full-length tale featuring Ray Bradbury’s popular Elliotts: a novel comprised of six previously published and other never-before-seen stories about an outlandish, greathearted, and loving-spirited Halloween creature clan and their “abnormal” (he can see his reflection in the mirror!) adopted son Timothy.

Meet Cecy, “the one who dreams,” a young girl who experiences the world only through the travels of her mind; Uncle Einar, a fun-loving vampire who loses his ability to fly; and Tom, a farm boy whom Cecy “meets” and falls in love with during one of her spirit-borne journeys.

Touching, wistful, and graced with his trademark wit, From the Dust Returned embodies the powerful vision and imagination of one of the world’s great literary icons, Ray Bradbury.
