Publisher's Summary

Published in chronological order, with extensive story and bibliographic notes, this series not only provides access to stories that have been out of print for years, but gives them a historical and social context. Series editors Scott Conners and Ronald S. Hilger excavated the still-existing manuscripts, letters and various published versions of the stories, creating a definitive "preferred text" for Smith's entire body of work. This second volume of the series brings together 20 of his fantasy stories.

Excellent Short stories

I really enjoyed this collection of short stories, they're a mixture of Sci-Fi and/or Horror, set in the future, the past, in parallel places, in places that sound eerily familiar but don't actually exist,
How is it that I had never heard of this Clark Ashton Smith before? Initially, I thought he was a contemporary writer but then was shocked to see that he was born in 1893 and was a friend and contemporary of HP Lovecraft and Robert E Howard?
I then happily found out that this is merely the second volume of 5. I feel like I lost a penny and found a pound!!!. Narration is also first-class, I Look forward to listening to the next 4 volumes.

Excellent collection of stories

Love this book. A great amalgamation of stories from different Smithian cycles. Stuff from the Hyperborean and Averoigne cycles stand out the most, and you get a feeling that you're approaching the quintessential Clark Ashton Smith stories when put side by side with the first volume of this series. A must have for anyone who likes weird fiction. Great voice acting performances again, and when the men reading the stories have to do female voices, they manage to avoid sounding like the terrible and grating female voices like Anthony Daniels used to do when he narrated all the Star Wars books.
