Mother of Toads (The Unexpurgated Clark Ashton Smith)

28 pp. Cover art by Robert H. Knox. Restoring text that did not appear in The Weird Tales version. "You can imagine the chagrin of a handsome young man when he wakes up next to the Toad Witch who drugged him the night before and had her way with him." "Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor."
