Clarke Ashton Smith was a writer in the "Wierd Tales" tradition.  He was an
important influence on Fritz Leiber, Theodore Sturgeon, Jack Vance, Robert
E. Howard, Harlan Ellison, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ray Bradbury.  He spun
unusual tales of exotic settings, all told in a rich (almost baroque)
style.  Although he produced over 100 short stories, almost all of it was
done in the six short years between 1930 and 1936.  Today his works are
hard to find, but the Ballantine books of the early 1970's and the Pocket
books of early 1980's aren't *too* hard to find in used book stores.  His
poetry is also of interest to the SF reader, it shares many of the themes
of his short stories.
