Clark Ashton Smith
“[W]eird, fantastic
writing, by its emphasis on the environing cosmic wonder and spirit of things,
may actually be truer to the spirit of life than the work which merely concerns
itself with literalities, as most modern fiction does.”
Letter to Weird Tales, February, 1933.
"The City of the Singing
Flame"
Passages:______.
Themes:
Our anthology combines two stories, "The City of the Singing Flame" (Wonder Stories, 15 January 1931), and "Beyond the Singing Flame" (Wonder Stories, 13 November, 1931); Smith thought highly of it; first published together as one story by Walter Gillings, editor of Tales of Wonder (Spring, 1940); the story (combined) is often anthologized following this edit.
