❝ We are undoubtedly dealing with a unique writer: his perspective is cosmic and anti-anthropocentric, endowed with a genuine poetic vein, a macabre and decadent touch, and possessing a monumental and bizarre vocabulary.
❝ In particular, the cycle of “Zothique” (which, as we can see, inspired the name of the Dagon Press magazine), set in a distant future where the sun has darkened and the ancient arts of necromancy have been reborn, is considered his masterpiece.
❝ “None among the young American writers can make the note of cosmic terror vibrate with the same mastery as the Californian poet, artist, and bohemian Clark Ashton Smith, whose bizarre compositions, drawings, paintings, and novellas delight a select few receptive souls.”
❝ Clark Ashton Smith, born in 1893 in Long Valley, California, was one of the pillars of early 20th-century American fantasy alongside H.P. Lovecraft and R.E. Howard, writing for the renowned magazine “Weird Tales”.
