Howard, and Clark Ashton Smith, I have a single anthology to thank for introducing me to them… The Macabre Reader. And nearly everyone has a story of how they discovered an author that really made an impact on them. Discovering Clark Ashton Smithīefore you can collect the works of an author, you must discover them. Smith might have felt the same if he’d had any inkling that the world would still be discussing him and his writings more than a century and a quarter later. ![]() If I took my own birthday and added 128 years to it, that would put us in the year 2097 which sounds an awful lot like the setting for a dystopian science fiction novel. It has been 128 years since Clark Ashton Smith-whom I consider one of the world’s foremost fantasists-was born. ![]()
