The Double Shadow
Clark Ashton Smith (1893-1961) – 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 late 1920's, he became a regular contributor to Weird Tales, 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 to and showcase of Smith's decadently jeweled prose.
Contents:
- The Voyage of King Euvoran
- The Maze of the Enchanter
- The Double Shadow
- A Night in Malneant
- The Devotee of Evil
- The Willow Landscape

Clark Ashton Smith
Clark Ashton Smith (1893–1961) 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 mostly remembered today. With Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, also a friend and correspondent, Smith remains one of the most famous contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales.
