Thank you for this. This was the first of Clark Ashton Smith's Zouthique stories I listened to. It and The Charnel Guard are my favorite

Glad you enjoyed it! I haven't done a whole book yet but I'll consider that...

I have all his books, he introduced me to the "Lovecraftian" world, to me he is better than Lovecraft at weaving tales, though Lovecraft had "scarier" stories, Clark's universe was more akin to what the last days of a solar system would be like.

Awesome

[@inkandashpod]

Thanks!

[@Kanezeran]

Amazing reading, just one point I want to.make: lethe is a Greek word, pronounced LEE-thee, meaning oblivion

[@joelkurowski7129]

This is probably an AI program. It is not programmed to recognize that word, nor 'ebon', apparently.

[@inkandashpod]

Thanks for the props and the heads up!

[@inkandashpod]

Nope, just a guy who doesn’t get always all the words right
