New York: Ballantine Books. Near Fine. 1972. First Edition. Softcover. [nice clean copy with minimal wear, spine slightly turned]. (Adult Fantasy) Series Mass Market PB The third (and seemingly most uncommon) of the four paperback collections of Smith's stories edited for Ballantine by Lin Carter, who describes them in his Introduction as "extraplanetary weird fantasies." Most were originally published in various pulp magazines in the early 1930s, and constituted, in Carter's words, "something quite new and different and exciting, something all his own." He lauds the tales for a prose style he calls "rich, bejeweled, exotic kind of writing [of] the sort we most often think of as being natural to the heroic fantasy tale of magic kingdoms and fabulous eras of the mysterious past." .
