The fourth of five volumes collecting the complete stories of renowned weird fiction” author Clark Ashton Smith.

None strikes the note of cosmic horror as well as Clark Ashton Smith. In sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Smith is perhaps unexcelled by any other writer.” H. P. Lovecraft

Clark Ashton Smith, considered one of the greatest contributors to seminal pulp magazines such as Weird Tales, helped define and shape weird fiction” in the early twentieth century, alongside contemporaries H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, drawing upon his background in poetry to convey an unparalleled richness of imagination and expression in his stories of the bizarre and fantastical.

The Collected Fantasies series presents all of Smith’s fiction chronologically. Authorized by the author’s estate and endorsed by Arkham House, the stories in this series are accompanied by detailed background notes from editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger, who in preparation for this collection meticulously compared original manuscripts, various typescripts, published editions, and Smith’s own notes and letters. Their efforts have resulted in the most definitive and complete collection of the author’s work to date.

The Maze of the Enchanter is the fourth of five volumes collecting all of Clark Ashton Smith’s tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It includes all of his stories from "The Mandrakes" (1932) to "The Flower-Women" (1933), and an introduction by Gahan Wilson.

Bibliography

This 4th volume of The Collected Fantasies has some of Clark Ashton Smith's finest tales. "Genius Loci" remains one of my favorite weird tales ever. The story casts a potent spell of dread that most such fictions usually lack. Whenever I read this tale, I am transported. The scene seems very real, authentic. One is swept away by the intensity of the narrative. Smith was indeed a wizard, who conjured with language. His alien landscapes impress one as strange yet realistic. His language is evocative, as we see in this paragraph from "The Dweller in the Gulf":

"None of the three adventurers was overly imaginative or prone to nervousness. But all were beset by certain odd impressions. Behind the arras of cryptic silence, time and again, they seemed to hear a faint whisper, like the sign of sunken seas far down at some hemispheric depth. The air was tinged with a slight and doubtful dankness, and they felt the stirring of an almost imperceptible draft upon their faces. Oddest of all was the hint of a nameless odor, reminding them both of animal dens and the peculiar smell of Martian dwellings."

One of the wonders of these books from the magnificent Night Shade Books are the remarkable jackets, with amazing illustrations by Jason Van Hollander and design by Claudia Noble. They are among the finest examples of jacket art and design I have ever seen, an utter delight and ecstasy.
Exotic, erotic, enchanting -- the dark phantasy tales of Clark Ashton Smith has it all.

Another excellent book in the series of CAS' stories. The first three were of a very high standard and book 4 continues that tradition.

The Maze of the Enchanter (The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, Vol. 4) (v. 4) is another installment of the complete short stories of Clark Ashton Smith.
I found Smith's stories in the early 70s through the excellent anthologies put together by Lin Carter. Ballantine Books published three volumes, each focused on a different story cycle. I've read them all myriad times, but was disappointed that they didn't contain ALL of Smith's stories. This collection places the stories in chronological order of writing or publication. It isn't as easy to track a story cycle as a focused anthology, but this collection has ALL the stories. At least we don't have to ferret out old copies of Weird Tales magazines.

Smith wrote with a very dense elegant style. He was a true master of the English language with a very extensive vocabulary - perhaps he was a power-user of Roget's Thesaurus - who would never run long in his prose. He was also enormously inventive. His Xothique stories center on the last continent of Earth, which orbits a nearly burned-out red sun. Not a pleasant prospect, but the story lines are fabulous. "The Weaver in the Vaults" is one of Smith's classic stories contained in this volume.

His stories occasionally have a humorous or ironic passage that is so bone-dry it can only draw a chuckle from the reader in the well-constructed eeriness of the worlds he has constructed. These little surprises are one of the things that keep me coming back to re-read these stories.

I can't recommend this Collection Series highly enough. Even for readers who don't care for the macabre, Smith's stories can be a real treat; they are just that well written. The book itself is quality merchandise - nice print composition on very good paper. First-rate binding.

Exquisite Clark Ashton Smith CAS Smithos Content
Recensito nel Regno Unito il 14 maggio 2020
Acquisto verificato
* CAS Content 10/10, 5+ stars
* Paperback edition material 7/10
* Delivery condition 8/10

The sheer power of CAS's texts is a supernova of language and escapism. One can certainly appreciate the passion, respect and dedication of NightShade's team to compile and distribute such a monumental series of hypnotic depth, breadth and wonder, which exposes CAS to a new generation. Thank you Ron, Scott and Co. These, along with Joshi's Penguin Classic: Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasises, and I'm hooked.

The book/s I received were all a little tatty to start with, and even after a single through read of each of the 5 books with the utmost care, and they are now unbelievably tatty. The William Hope Hodgson series by NightShade had similar qualities/issues. If only the hardback versions were not so insanely priced.

Even so, I highly recommend these books for the content, for the sheer exposure of readers to the wonders of CAS and that NightShade and the author/scholar team, are dedicated to exhibiting such a marvellous creator to us, to me. With the success of these particular books, who knows, maybe we will get affordable luxury hard back editions for CAS, as has occurred for HPL.

Happy reading.
