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 “unexcelled by any other writer, dead or living” or compel Fritz Lieber to employ the worthy term sui generis. Clark Ashton Smith—autodidact, prolific poet, amateur philosopher, bizarre sculptor, and unmatched storyteller—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 Smith’s visionary brand of fantastical, phantasmagorical worlds, each one filled with invention, terror, and a superlative sense of metaphysical wonder.

The thrilling (and almost absolutely true) story of Emily Fowler, a beautiful and spirited young woman from Nantucket, who should have been (but, alas, never was) soundly spanked when young. Our naughty heroine does manage to get herself into a number of scrapes during her course of her breathtaking adventure. She leaps from a window to escape her wedding day, stows away and sails the high seas on a tall ship, risks her life and is grievously injured, is thrown rudely into a harbor, is kidnapped by plundering pirates, is brutally manhandled, nearly ravished and almost murdered–but luckily is heroically rescued from her unspeakable fate at the last possible second. Most importantly of all, she falls in love with a brave and handsome sea captain, and is deliciously deflowered and made love to by same. Before her ordeal is peacefully concluded (lest the reader be sorely disappointed) our deserving young heroine's beguiling bare buttocks are frequently and soundly spanked!
