Have you read the 1997 collection The Throne of Bones by Brian McNaughton? It was a World Fantasy Award Winner, and while some people have called it a Mythos novel, it has been compared more often to Clark Ashton Smith.

Warning: It's very gross with ghouls not only eating the dead but having lots of sex. It's also nonlinear. I loved it, but maybe I'm a sick puppy.

I may still have a collection I downloaded back when I was still reading on my Palm IIIXe. By the way, Fictionwise does have a few CAS collections for sale -- multiformat. They come from Wildside Press, which also published The Throne of Bones.

I have some really nice REH collections that I should crack open. Heck, I even have the movie about Robert E. Howard and his girlfriend. And his suicide.
