          I've seen some recent reissues of Clark Ashton Smith's stuff,
but haven't look at them for publisher, titles etc. since I have all 
(sorry, most) of Smith's story collections at home in Granada paperbacks
with lovely covers. Couldn't resist posting a response; I didn't think
anybody read C.A. Smith anymore but us eccentrics who survived morbid
childhoods...

          Seriously though, I really enjoyed Smith's Averoigne stories
for the tongue-in-cheek humor and sneaky references to Lovecraft. 
"The Dark Eidolon" is a very entertaining pastiche of Beckford's Vathek
and Arabian Nights type fiction. Mail me something for further info...
