Synopsis "the double shadow"

Clark Ashton Smith -- one of the "big three" classic authors from the legendary pulp magazine Weird Tales (the others being H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard) -- began writing early in the twentieth century. By the 1920s, he became a regular poet and author in Weird Tales magazine, helping to usher in its golden age. "The Double Shadow" was originally published by the Auburn Journal in 1933 in an oversized edition limited to only 1,000 copies. Smith carefully signed and hand-corrected many typographical errors for years to come. A collection of six stories ranging from contemporary horror to weird alternate-world fantasy, it remains a fascinating introduction and showcase to his decadently jeweled prose.

Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) was an American writer, poet, and artist, noted for his contributions to fantasy, horror, and science fiction literature. Born in Long Valley, California, he was self-taught and a close friend of H.P. Lovecraft, with whom he shared correspondence and collaborations in the Cthulhu Mythos.

Among his most notable works are Zothique: The Last Continent and Hyperborea and Other Lost Worlds, both collections of stories that explore imaginary worlds and were published in Spanish. In addition to his literary work, Smith also dedicated himself to sculpture and painting, leaving a multifaceted artistic legacy.
