I’ve been having a quick look at which stories might be relevant to Lovecraft’s own mythos (rather than to the later expansions of the Mythos) in the fiction of Clark Ashton Smith. So far as I can tell the most substantially Lovecraft-relevant stories are… <\/p>\n
The Return of the Sorcerer
\n The Nameless Offspring
\n Ubbo-Sathla
\n The Holiness of Azederac
\n The Vaults of Yoh-Vombis<\/p>\n
I also read that the following are Lovecraftian in tone or approach…<\/p>\n
The Hunters from Beyond
\n The Coming of the White Worm
\n The Dark Eidolon
\n The Dweller in the Gulf
\n The Plutonian Drug
\n The Treader in the Dust
\n The Seven Geases
\n The City of the Singing Flame
\n The Abominations of Yondo
\n The Eternal World
\n Xeethra
\n The Epiphany of Death
\n A Star-Change<\/p>\n
But then I was confused by finding a list of the contents of Robert Price’s The Klarkashton Cycle<\/em> (his Chaosium collection of mythos-related stories of Clark Ashton Smith) (Thanks to Matthew T. Carpenter for the listing and notes on the versions and titles)…<\/p>\n The Ghoul For someone not really familiar with Clark Ashton Smith’s work this is confusing, and I wonder if the Chaosium collection was distorted (use of alt. versions, re-titling, etc) because of copyright restrictions? Or did it perhaps venture beyond the original Lovecraft mythos in scope (I’ve never seen mention of Smith’s werewolf stories as mythos)? <\/p>\n Am I right in thinking that there’s really not yet been a definitive book collection of the Smith stories which have more than a brief “mentioned in passing” relation to Lovecraft’s fiction?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve been having a quick look at which stories might be relevant to Lovecraft’s own mythos (rather than to the …<\/p>\n
