Looking for text: Dark They Were & Golden-Eyed
I have the audio book of Dark They Were & Golden-Eyed, but I'm looking for the actual text.

This is a 1950's short story about colonists from Earth who travel to mars and slowly turn into Martians.

Can anyone help? I wish to purchase this story. You can post info here or e-mail me directly.

Thank you!!

"Dark They Were, and Golden-Eyed" was first collected in "A Medicine for Melancholy" (1959) and then in "S is for Space" (1966). I'm unsure whether it appears in later editions of "The Martian Chronicles," but oddly it did not appear in the original edition.

Mr. Dark
It is also contained in a large anthology of Bradbury's works that would certainly be available through any community library:

"The Stories of Ray Bradbury" Alfred A. Knopf, NY. 1980. Includes an introduction by Bradbury.
