This 1922 collection gathers Clark Ashton Smith’s verse and prose poems of mummies, nereids, lost cities and cosmic dread, with tributes to Omar Khayyam and a preface by George Sterling praising its hard, crystalline style. Its centrepiece is the long visionary poem The Hashish-Eater.
Essential reading for admirers of Smith’s later Weird Tales fiction and of Lovecraft’s circle. Download the free EPUB.
