Clark Ashton Smith was a prodigy, who wrote Arabian Nights novels in his mid-teens and was heralded as a major voice in American poetry by the time he was nineteen. In one frantic burst in the middle 1930s, he wrote nearly a hundred strange, wondrous, and grotesque stories, most of which were published in Weird Tales, Strange Tales, Wonder Stories, and other pulps, but he was by no means a conventional pulp writer. A direct heir to Edgar Allan...

Excerpt from Odes and Sonnets Chatterton is commonly held up as the criterion of literary precocity, yet he was, for all his strong personality, a babbling babe compared to Smith, so far as poetry is concerned. In fadt, his poems are mere verse and not poetry, while in the pages that follow the discemer of pure gold will find it in heavy veins. Beside it, I can imagine nothing more ephemeral than the aridities and extrava' gances of free vers...

and I knew him as well as anyone could purport to know him. Yet the thing was no less a mystery to me than to others at the time, and until now, it has remained a mystery. Like the rest, I sometimes thought that he and Ebbonly had designed it all between them as a huge, insoluble hoax, that they were still alive, somewhere, and laughing at the world that was so sorely baffled by their disappearance. And, until I at last decided to visit Crater...
