Found quite an interesting interview with
Rain Graves in which she comments on CAS thus:
Quote:Clark Ashton Smith because he was like the little dark romantic side of the kind of writing that era had to offer - a bit more smooth and polished than Lovecraft, in my opinion.

Have to admit that I had not heard of her before but, as she won a Bram Stoker award for poetry I plan to look her up.
