Yesterday when I visited my local Barnes & Noble bookstore, I was amazed -- nay, overwhelmed -- when I beheld three Smith books on sale in their fantasy and science fiction section. This was the first time I'd ever seen any books on sale by Smith anywhere -- the three books were Lost Worlds and two copies of The Door to Saturn.
To make matters still more wonderful, this seems to be an ongoing trend with Barnes & Noble, for I checked on their site around the Baltimore area (I live in the South) and a Smith book was available at one of their chainstores there as well! Could all this, perhaps, be indicative of a new renaissance of appreciation for Clark Ashton Smith?
We have seen the darkness
Where charnel things decay,
Where atom moves with atom
In shining swift array,
Like ordered constellations
On some sidereal way.
