The Monster of the Prophecy (The Unexpurgated Clark Ashton Smith)

28 pp. Cover art by Robert H. Knox. Prepared after the editor compared three manuscript versions and two published versions of the text. "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."
