This channel is hidden gold, please continue to make videos, Here is a feedback on question near the end: 1) Definitely more Kane stories by Karl Wagner, 2) Nortwest from Earth by C.L.Moore 3) more Steve Costigan stories by Robert Howard Nobody read those on youtube and they are equally golden as this channel
Recently my reading has taken down the rabbit hole of both English and French Decadence. It’s really interesting to look at the influences on CAS and to consider in light of those influences where he builds on and breaks from tradition. Have you read any decadence-Baudelaire, Rachilde, Huysmans, Lorrain, or the like? I’d read Wilde and Beckford, enjoyed Beardsley, but never committed to understanding that lineage before this fall.
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy I have not, but I will have to give them a look. I think in terms of actual writing ability, Smith was the best of the Weird Tales big 3. Howard is my favorite, but Smith could write like no other!
I agree completely! Of the three, HPL is the least adept and yet somehow the most well-known. His concept of fear is so good! I admit that when I was young, Smith was the hardest to get into of the three. He’s now my favorite by a long shot.
WOW 😮
I never heard about Zothique - IT"S PURE AWESOME!
Thank you!
where is the image from?
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. The image is from a painter called Mark Rogers, this collection is from the 90s and leans into cheesecake a bit

Thanks for the feedback on stories! Much appreciated. I’ve got all of those stories you mentioned so it should be possible to work them in.
@@thrillingsuspensefantasy thanks, I can only look forward to it 💥
@@GoryWory I second more Kane stories by Karl Edward Wagner. The 2 short stories posted here really whetted my appetite.
I will never get tired of Zothique!! Thank you for your fantastic work!
Appreciate the kind words! Been a rough little while so they are extra appreciated
@thrillingsuspensefantasy CAS still doesn't get near enough of the spotlight , and his Zothique stories are amazing Sword and Sorcery.
