This series presents Clark Ashton Smith's fiction chronologically, based on composition rather than publication. Editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger have compared original manuscripts, various typescripts, published editions, and Smith's notes and letters, in order to prepare a definitive set of texts. The Maze of the Enchanter includes, in chronological order, all of his stories from "The Mandrakes" (February, 1933) to "The Flower-Women" (May, 1935). This volume also features an introduction, and extensive notes on each story. Views: 40
Most people think The Zone is an amusement park, but Candy Thompson
knows it's really a slave labor camp. What else would you call a summer
job that requires a sixteen-year-old girl to set aside her whole social
life for the privilege of standing out in the hot sun selling cotton
candy? Still, there are perks---particularly the mysterious hunk in the
Lone Ranger costume. Behind that mask are the most amazing eyes Candy
has ever seen. Who is that masked man? But someone else is just as
interested. And romantic competition isn't the only problem. Besides
being hard work, The Zone is eating up major time. How is Candy supposed
to stay involved in church? Worse yet, will she lose her best friend,
Tamara, who resents how Candy's job limits their time together? This is
NOT the summer Candy hoped for! But as she is about to discover, the
summer of cotton candy will be the greatest summer of her life. Views: 40
