A much-awaited collection of prose and poetry from one of the great
cosmic masters of the supernatural
Not just any fantasy, horror, and science fiction author could
impress H. P. Lovecraft into calling him "unexcelled by any other
writer, dead or living" or compel Fritz Lieber to employ the worthy
term "sui generis." Clark Ashton Smith--autodidact, prolific poet,
amateur philosopher, bizarre sculptor, and unmatched
storyteller--simply wrote like no one else, before or since. This
new collection of his very best tales and poems is selected and
introduced by supernatural literature scholar S. T. Joshi and
allows readers to encounter Smith's visionary brand of fantastical,
phantasmagorical worlds, each one filled with invention, terror,
and a superlative sense of metaphysical wonder.
