A Vintage from Atlantis is the third of five books that collect the fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith. Of the first three books in the series, it is certainly the strongest.
Written between 1931 and 1932, these stories cover a range of his styles. There is the 30-page dark sci-fi "Seedling of Mars" (which like most of his longer sci-fi pieces, is one of his weaker works), a collection of Averoignian tales, including the time-traveling adventure "The Holiness of Azßdarac,"...more

This volume is so far the strongest of the first three in the five that collect all of Clark Ashton Smith's work. The editors collected the stories in the order that Smith wrote them, and in the period represented by this volume Smith was writing some of his best work. In stories such as "The Empire of the Necromancers," Smith is able to create worlds with scale and texture that rival that found in some of the doorstop, multi-volume fantasy tales I have read. His prose is descriptive a...more
A Vintage from Atlantis is volume 3 of the series. Smith is really hitting his stride by 1931 - 1932. Unlike the earlier two volumes there is hardly a clinker in the entire book. The stories are truly interesting and the plots novel while the endings are not as formulaic as in the past. If you are going to read or purchase only one volume from this series, this should be it.

Clark Ashton Smith was a poet, sculptor, painter and author of fantasy, horror and science fiction short stories. It is for these stories, and his literary friendship with H. P. Lovecraft from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937, that he is mainly remembered today. With Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, also a friend and correspondent, Smith remains one of the most famous contributors to the pulp m...more
