Quote:Calonlan
Bradbury came in by way of Xeethra and Double Shadow for example- at age 10 or so as I recall
I cannot imagine reading Smith at that age.... Why are all writers so damn precocious?!
And may I add "The Abominations of Yondo" as another good story to start with--very appropriate, since it was, I believe, the first weird story CAS ever wrote. It is relatively short, comes with one of Smith's patented prose poem intros, and has perhaps my favorite ending of all his stories that I've read. I am smiling just thinking about it....
