Description

Clark Ashton Smith's Interplanetary Tales offer a unique blend of fantasy and science fiction. Set in exotic worlds such as Zothique, Hyperborea, and Averoigne, these tales explore the human condition in the face of an immense and hostile universe. Smith was a pioneer in science fiction, with his stories appearing in prominent pulp magazines like Wonder Stories and Amazing Stories. This volume collects several of his lesser-known tales, including "Seedling of Mars", which features deadly animated plants, and "The Monster of the Prophecy", set on the planet Antares. Edited by leading scholar Ronald S. Hilger, this collection provides a fascinating insight into Smith's mastery of prose-poetic idiom. A preface by Nathan Ballingrud adds context to this volume, highlighting the distinctive subgenre of "green horror" that pervades many of Smith's interplanetary tales. With its unique blend of fantasy and science fiction, this collection is sure to appeal to fans of Clark Ashton Smith's work.
