‘Carbondale After Dark’ goes digital
PDF version includes three new stories
The PDF version of “Carbondale After Dark” is available HERE.
CAD is a profusely illustrated anthology of history, essays and short stories that provides a blow-by-blow account of the political and cultural upheavals that led to the May 1970 riots in Carbondale, and how protests evolved into street parties and a massive Halloween celebration. It also chronicles streakers, bands, bars, hangouts, protest movements and street people, and efforts by city and school officials to control the madness. In other words, all the things that get left out of official histories and Chamber of Commerce brochures. CAD is also filled with historic photos and period illustrations.
A PDF (Portable Document Format) can be read on both a Nook and a Kindle, as well as an iPad and most other tablets, smartphones and computers, regardless of operating system.
In addition to a new preface, the expanded PDF includes a full-page reproduction of Marvin Hill’s classic cover illustration, and an addendum with three new stories. “Carbondale Before Dark” is about growing up in the town in the 1950s and early ’60s. “Bucky’s Dome” is about living in futurist Buckminster Fuller’s dome home in the early 1980s. “Ghosts of Carbondale Past” is about a 2017 reunion concert of Carbondale bands from the 1970s.
