The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies (Penguin Classics)

The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies (Penguin Classics)

A much-awaited collection of prose and poetry from one of the great cosmic masters of the supernatural

Not just any fantasy, horror, and science fiction author could impress H. P. Lovecraft into calling him â€œunexcelled by any other writer, dead or livingâ€ or compel Fritz Lieber to employ the worthy term sui generis. Clark Ashton Smithâ€”autodidact, prolific poet, amateur philosopher, bizarre sculptor, and unmatched storytellerâ€”simply wrote like no one else, before or since. This new collection of his very best tales and poems is selected and introduced by supernatural literature scholar S. T. Joshi and allows readers to encounter Smithâ€™s visionary brand of fantastical, phantasmagorical worlds, each one filled with invention, terror, and a superlative sense of metaphysical wonder.

For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700Â titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust theÂ series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-dateÂ translations by award-winning translators.
