I'm not sure I can pick a favorite weird tale from CAS's work. But the story that floats to the top of my mind at the moment is "The Tale of Satampra Zeiros".
This is a good one, in my opinion.
I like the framing device of a sort of memoir concerning what became of the entity who took over Commorium after the unsuccessful attempts to execute him when he was in human form.
I think the same narrator has another story, Theft of the 39 Girdles, unless I'm mistaken. That story to me reads like Fritz Lieber in tone and mood.
