Clark Ashton Smith: A Horror Master

And a Fantasy master too, mind. Check out "The Tale of Satampra Zeiros," which stands halfway between fantasy and horror, is short and fun, and introduces legendary bad-motherfucker Tsathoggua, making it the perfect introductory piece into the world of Smith: http://www.eldritchdark.com/writings/... Now, as for a collected edition of his works: Penguin's The Dark Eidolon's (the one I wield around in the video) is a good one, mostly thanks to legendary scholar ST Joshi's excellent editorial work. If you find another edition touched by Joshi, by all means jump on it.
