First published in Weird Tales , September 1932. The opening paragraph of the inaugural Zothique story immediately casts a potent spell. Clark Ashton Smith had found his new fictional home: The legend of Mmatmuor and Sodosma shall arise only in the latter cycles of Earth, when the glad legends of the prime have been forgotten. Before the time of its telling, many epochs shall have passed away, and the seas shall have fallen in their beds, and new continents shall have come to birth. Perhaps, in that day, it will serve to beguile for a little the black weariness of a dying race, grown hopeless of all but oblivion. I tell the tale as men shall tell it in Zothique, the last continent, beneath a dim sun and sad heavens where the stars come out in terrible brightness before eventide. Completed July 1932.

Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) was one of the three great contributors to the magazine Weird Tales (along with H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan) and some would argue that he was the best of them all. Certainly, the evidence of two new paperback reissues, a collection of substantial critical essays, the first volume of a scholarly edition of his collected fantasies, a recent volume of letters, and much else hint at the ongoing literary vitality of this fascinating and controversial writer. Let's begin with some testimonials. "In sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception," wrote Lovecraft, "Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled by any other writer dead or living." America's two senior grandmasters of fantasy and science fiction, Jack Vance and Ray Bradbury, clearly modeled their own early "poetic" styles after his. According to Bradbury, Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures on those worlds and in those cities." And he did this largely through his gorgeous style and the courtly pacing of his sentences. "Take one step across the threshold of his stories," declares Bradbury, "and you plunge into color, sound, taste, smell, and texture into language."

CAS - Clark Ashton Smith
Many and multiform are the dim horrors of Earth, infesting her ways from the prime. They sleep beneath the unturned stone; they rise with the tree from its roots; they move beneath the sea and in subterranean places; they dwell in the inmost adyta; they emerge betimes from the shutten sepulchre of haughty bronze and the low grave that is sealed with clay. There be some that are long known to man, and others as yet unknown that abide the latter days of their revealing. Those which are the most dreadful and loathliest of all are haply still to be declared.

The Poetics of Morbidity:
The Original Text to Clark Ashton Smith's "The Maze of Maal Dweb"
commentary by Jim Rockhill
I did not give Smith another chance until the colorful Gervasio Gallardo cover for Xiccarph
Clark Ashton Smith wrote the tale "The Maze of the Enchanter" in autumn 1932. Unable to publish it, or unwilling to submit it to the editing he knew any commercial editor would demand, he included it in the self-published pamphlet in 1933. Five years later a severely pruned version of the tale appeared in the October 1938 issue of Weird Tales as "The Maze of Maal Dweb." This later text appears in the canonical volume Lost Worlds (Arkham House, 1944), The City of the Singing Flame A Rendezvous in Averoigne (Arkham House, 1988). Aside from appearances in two volumes edited by Lin Carter for the Adult Fantasy Series the anthology The Young Magicians Xiccarph (The Strange Company, 1979), Smith's richer, original version of the tale has been supplanted by the later, simpler text.

    The poetic solution: Put the books in your satchel, drive to a nearby hip city, find a bookstore or coffeeshop, order some cocoa, and read, darn it. The rational solution: Put the books in your satchel, and carry them with you on your daily rounds. As pockets of unstructured time pop up, as they are wont to do, read (beverage optional).

    The Plot
    In “The Empire of the Necromancers” (1932), two magicians conjure themselves an empire out of the dust of the ages and the corpses of the ancient dead, but their despotic rule leads to bloody rebellion by their subjects. The eponymous hero of “The Voyage of King Euvoran” (1933) offends a necromancer and is punished by the loss of his remarkable crown, which is carried away by the fabulous bird whose feathers topped it. Misled by an apparently favorable oracle, the king goes in quest of his lost crown but finds instead a peculiarly apt humiliation. In...

    As most aficionados of weird fiction know, Clark Ashton Smith's career really launched with contributions to Hugo Gernsback's Wonder Stories. While he wrote in the SF genre only sparingly, Smith's poetic vision resulted in stirring picturesque tales of interplanetary travel. Among Smith's best work are such tales as "The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis", "Dweller in the Gulf" and "The Plutonian Drug". Sadly, not only are many of his SF tales unavailable in hardcover, some have never been presented in the author's preferred texts! Smith scholars Ron Hilger and Scott Connors have assembled what is now doubt an essential Smith volume, whenever possible working form Smith's own manuscripts to prepare the texts in the form that the author himself would have preferred. Due to contractual issues, we are unable to produce more than our standard run of 500 copies. Copies are at $45.00 and will be available this spring. Advance orders are strongly recommended!

San Francisco: Night Shade Books, 2003. 115 p. I believe it is safe to say that a Clark Ashton Smith renaissance is underway. For years his major fiction and poetry were unavailable, and little critical or biographical work has been done since Steve Behrends's brief monograph, Clark Ashton Smith (Starmont House, 1990). The Necronomicon Press editions of Smith's Tales of Zothique (1995) and The Book of Hyperborea (1996) were successful but quickly went out of print. But now Arkham House has reissued its hefty edition of Smith's best fantastic tales, A Rendezvous in Averoigne (1988); the Hippocampus Press edition of The Last Oblivion (2002), edited by David E. Schultz and myself, has made much of Smith's best fantastic poetry available to a new readership; and my edition of Smith's unpublished juvenile novel, The Black Diamonds (Hippocampus Press, 2002), and W. C. Farmer's edition of more unpublished juvenile work
