I finished reading The Emperor of Dreams a couple of days ago. I decided to read this short story collection, because his stories have often been compared H. P. Lovecraft's stories.
The Emperor of Dreams was an excellent short story collection and it was a good introduction to the weird fiction of Clark Ashton Smith. I liked Clark Ashton Smith's writing style very much. His prose was rich and well written. In my opinion his writing style was quite similar to Lovecraft's writing style.
So far I've read only some stories by Clark Ashton Smith, but if his other stories are as good and fascinating as these stories, I'll read all of them.
