Back in print in new trade paperback editions, the third of five
volumes collecting the complete stories of renowned "weird fiction"
author Clark Ashton Smith. "None strikes the note of cosmic horror
as well as Clark Ashton Smith. In sheer daemonic strangeness and
fertility of conception, Smith is perhaps unexcelled by any other
writer." H. P. Lovecraft Clark Ashton Smith, considered one of the
greatest contributors to seminal pulp magazines such as Weird
Tales, helped define and shape "weird fiction" in the early
twentieth century, alongside contemporaries H. P. Lovecraft and
Robert E. Howard, drawing upon his background in poetry to convey
an unparalleled richness of imagination and expression in his
stories of the bizarre and fantastical. The Collected Fantasies
series presents all of Smith's fiction chronologically. Authorized
by the author's estate and endorsed by Arkham House, the stories in
this series are accompanied by detailed background notes from
editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger, who in preparation for this
collection meticulously compared original manuscripts, various
typescripts, published editions, and Smith's own notes and letters.
Their efforts have resulted in the most definitive and complete
collection of the author's work to date. A Vintage from Atlantis is
the third of five volumes collecting all of Clark Ashton Smith's
tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It includes all of
his stories from "The Holiness of Azedarac" (1931) to "The God of
the Asteroid" (1932), as well as an introduction by Michael Dirda.
