Along with his contemporaries H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, he helped shape and define “weird fiction” in the early 20th century. Smith drew upon his background in poetry to portray an unparalleled richness of expression and imagination in his tales of the fantastical and bizarre. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Collected Fantasies\u003c\/i\u003e series presents all of Clark Ashton Smith’s work chronologically. The tales in this series are paired with detailed background notes from editors Ron Hilger and Scott Connors. To prepare for these collected fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith, these two editors meticulously compared various typescripts, published editions, original manuscripts, and Smith’s own letters and notes. Their efforts have made the most definitive and complete collection of Smith’s work to date.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Door to Saturn\u003c\/i\u003e is the second of five volumes in \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Fantasies\u003c\/i\u003e.
