The Zothique cycle, as Clark Ashton Smith once styled it, comprises his largest body of unified tales, and the realm to which he returned most often through the many fitful phases of his fiction career. Necronomicon Press is proud to collect all of Smith's Zothique tales, including surviving fragments, as well as the play "The Dead Will Cuckold You", for the first time in 25 years. Restored from the original manuscripts for the very first time, and incorporating many changes made by Smith not previously seen, Tales of Zothique is a unique opportunity to rediscover an author who influenced generations of readers and authors - from H.P. Lovecraft and Ray Bradbury to Jack Vance and Harlan Ellison. This is Clark Ashton Smith at his very best.
