Clark Ashton Smith—Ultimate Weird Tales Collection—133 Stories for 1.99 (Amazon/B&N)

http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Weird...7888172&sr=1-3

133 Weird Tales-era works of horror, science fiction and fantasy have been gathered here into one volume, all written by Clark Ashton Smith, who was the third member of the literary circle that included authors Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. Excluding only fragmentary notes, excerpts and synopses he never finished during his lifetime, this is perhaps the largest single collection of all his published and unpublished fiction.

I was pleasantly floored to notice this on Amazon today. C.A.S. is one of our all-time greatest fantasists, his works are a unique experience. One of the famed Weird Tales trio (along with Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard), in my opinion his writings climb far above and beyond what they were capable of. I have his complete fiction, complete poetry, and essays and letters in book form, and I'm very happy to now have all or most of his tales available on my Kindle.

I haven't dug deep in this yet and can't attest to the accuracy of the text. Happily, the table of contents is active/clickable. The stories are arranged alphabetically on the TOC.
