Clark Ashton Smith enthusiast, and research Physicist at Brandeis University, Steve Behrends, relit the flame of enthusiasm for Smith's work with a number of books and studies, in the 1990's. This Guide, is an excellent single-volume introduction to the author's life, his fictional worlds, his workboth fiction and poetryand a bibliography for further study, and reading. Highly recommended, and I love the cover illustration. The book was originally printed in stiff-paper covers, but there were also a limited number issued hardbound (think "Library styled")if they received enough orders. Y...

Seller ID: 905

The second biography of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, this Herculean undertaking by S.T. Joshi exhumes incredible minutae of HPL's life and times, and may be dense reading for many; you could term L. Sprague de Campt's biography as a general introduction to the man, whereas Joshi gets inside HPL's skin with a surgeon's skills.This hardbound edition of 250 copies, signed by the author, was sold out before publication. With the addition of new HPL discoveries, this biography was expanded by Joshi and published in a two-volume set by Hippocampus Press, but this single volume contains all the mea...

Price: $50.00

Publisher: Albuquerque, NM, Harry O. Morris: 1972

Seller ID: 963

This book of 100 pages—I hate to denegrade it to a mere magazine—is in my opinion, the most informative and enlightening 100 pages ever published, on the—to this day–neglected master of the phantastique, whether it be fiction, poetry, or art, Clark Ashton Smith. To this day, I find the articles about CAS, many by those who knew him personally, to be my favorite pieces in the collection: Five Approaches to the Achievement of Clark Ashton Smith Cosmic Master Artist by Marvin Heimstra, Through Space & Time With CAS, by Mike Glyer—a discussion of common features in the short stories of ...
