Tellers of Weird Tales
Now here is an excellent blog, dedicated to the writers and artists whose work appeared in Weird Tales during its classic years and after. I've already learned a lot from it, and enjoyed just rambling around finding out stuff, being reminded of things I'd forgotten I'd read, and so on. And there are pictures, too!

Thanks for the link! I guess everybody has their favourite author from this era - Clarke Ashton Smith being mine.
Never read much of CAS. I suppose he's a little too far at the fantasy end of the spectrum for my tastes. But I could give him another try - my younger self was not infallible...
They can seem a bit reptitious if read in one go (everybody generally comes to a sticky end), but there's two I'd particularly recommend - 'The Maze of Maal Dweb' (aka 'The Maze of the Enchanger') and 'The Empire of the Necromancers'.
Damn. 'Enchanter' - although an 'Enchanger' sounds kind of interesting...
Oops. And that's 'Clark' rather than 'Clarke'.
Is this a tribute to CAS, I wonder?

It's a possibility!
Aonghus, I share your taste for CAS. May I point you in the direction of a new 99c Kindle eBook, Witchery: A Duo of Weird Tales ? It contains a new tale of Averoigne that I think you will enjoy. The title is Black Art in Vyones and it has been described elsewhere as "excellent."
