Description

Zothique: The Final Cycle is a collection of prose fiction, drama, and poetry set in Clark Ashton Smith's most carefully crafted fantasy realm. This world of languid decadence, strangeness, and sexuality has been the setting for many of his celebrated stories.

Smith's Zothique tales are characterized by their unique blend of fantasy and the supernatural, often exploring themes of aching loss and tragedy in a world on the brink of collapse. The imminent extinguishing of the sun has caused civilization to revert to a kind of primitivism, with royalty, superstition, and sorcery reigning supreme.

This volume presents Smith's expression of his imagination in edited form, featuring a new introduction by Donald Sidney-Fryer. With its unique blend of fantasy and the supernatural, Zothique: The Final Cycle is a fascinating glimpse into one of the most carefully crafted fantasy realms of all time.
