Delphi Complete Works of Clark Ashton Smith (Illustrated‪)‬

One of the West Coast Romantic poets, Clark Ashton Smith was also an accomplished master of Weird fantasy fiction. Recognised as one of the “big three of Weird Tales”, along with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft, his work is characterised for its extraordinarily ornate vocabulary, inventive and cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic, ribald humour. This comprehensive eBook presents Smith’s complete published works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 2)
