Cover art: Rowena Morrill Blurb: “THE GREATEST WRITERS IN THE FIELD SING THE PRAISES OF CLARK ASHTON SMITH AND THE CI TY OF THE SINGING FLAME! "In sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, he is perhaps unexcelled by any other writer, dead or living. Who else has seen such gorgeous, luxurious, and feverishly distorted visions of infinite spheres and multiple dimensions and lived to tell the tale?" -H.P. Lovecraft "Smith is sui generis, one of the most uninfluenced and original writers I know of. A germ from Poe, a little fire from George Sterling, perhaps an acid drop from Bierce, the color and cruelty of Eastern Legends." - Fritz Leiber "It is often impossible to say where man's inspirations come from...my impetus remains as bright and compelling as it was the day I removed it from a library shelf...and passed incredibly! - out of that building through a portal to the City where the Singing Flame lived." - Harlan Ellison ISBN: 0-671-83415-0 Show more
