Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith stands as part of the great triumvirate of horror/fantasy writers who emerged from the ranks of Weird Tales magazine in the 1920s and 1930s. Whilst not quite as well-known as these illustrious peers, Smith stands equal to them in terms of the brilliance, scope and imagination of his writing. DARK DIMENSIONS OF DEATH, an anthology of Smith’s finest work, seeks to assert the author’s rightful place at the summit of the genre. Edited and introduced by D. M. Mitchell. Featuring: Isle Of The Torturers, Necromancy On Naat, The Vaults Of Yoh-Vombis, Empire Of The Necromancers, The Colossus Of Ylourgne, The Dark Eidolon, The Garden Of Adompha, The Charnel God, The Abominations Of Yondo, Mother Of Toads, and nine other classic death-tainted tales.
