Monstruos en la noche, probablemente uno de los cuentos de Clark Ashton Smith menos conocidos, y ciertamente uno de los más extraños, combina de manera prodigiosa las antiguas leyendas de hombres lobo con la ciencia ficción.
El relato nos sitúa en un año indeterminado del siglo XXI. Un licántropo se dispone a transformarse para acechar a los caminantes incautos de un bosque. Mientras aguarda, reflexiona sobre su propia naturaleza, sabe que hay otros seres monstruosos, como él y de otras estirpes, otros seres de la noche...pero parece que no lo sabe todo sobre su mundo...algo imperdonable
Está garantizado un final sorprendente.
'Señor del Asteroide' de Clark Ashton Smith es una colección de cuentos de ciencia ficción y fantasía. Explora paisajes cósmicos, criaturas de otro mundo y lo surrealista, mostrando la maestría de Smith en la creación de reinos vívidos e imaginativos..
Cuando Morghi, el supremo sacerdote de la diosa Yhoundeh, junto con doce de sus más feroces y eficientes subordinados, llegaron con el amanecer a prender a Eibon, el hereje infame, en su casa de roca negra que estaba enclavada sobre un promontorio, se sorprendieron y desilusionaron al encontrarla vacía. Su sorpresa se debía al hecho de que estaban seguros de poder hundirle por sorpresa, ya que todos sus planes contra Eibon se habían llevado a cabo con meticuloso secreto en cámaras subterráneas con puertas insonorizadas.
La sibila blanca, uno de los grandes cuentos de Clark Ashton Smith, pertenece al Ciclo Hiperbóreo -también conocido como Ciclo de Hiperbórea-, básicamente una serie de relatosque nos sitúan en la misteriosa isla de Hiperbórea, pero en una era antediluviana, es decir, en aquel período prehistórico oscuro, casi olvidado, que resuena vagamente en la mitología.
Los relatos Smith que se desarrollan en el mundo prehistórico de Hiperbórea son ejemplos perfectos del estilo y las constantes de su narrativa fantástica que acabo de señalar. Hiperbórea es anterior a la Historia humana; un mundo crepuscular, condenado a la desaparición y al olvido. Los personajes son pícaros y buscavidas nada heroicos; los dioses son monstruosos y crueles; las costumbres, bárbaras y perversas.
Athammaus fue en su tiempo verdugo real de la ciudad de Commoriom, antigua capital de Hyperborea y abandonada tiempo atrás debido a la profecía de su destrucción por parte de la sibila blanca. Sin embargo, nuestro protagonista relata los verdaderos acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar y de los que fue protagonista tras la aprehensión del mayor bandido de la zona: Knygathin Zhaum, que propiciaron el motivo del éxodo de la población.
Clark Ashton Smith was a poet, sculptor, painter, and author of fantasy, horror, and science fiction short stories. It is for these stories and his literary friendship with H. P. Lovecraft, from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937, that he is mainly remembered today. With Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, also a friend and correspondent, Smith remains one of the most famous contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales. This early volume of Clark Ashton Smith's poetry was published when he was only 19-years-old.
Six short sagas of suspense and surprise, born from the mind of the master of pulp horror, Clark Ashton Smith are brought to life with the narration of Will Hahn. This value-bundle contains some of Smith's most bizarre notions, strewn across dimensions, outer space, and of course from beyond the grave:
- The Double Shadow
- The Death of Malygris
- The Black Abbot of Puthuum
- Witchcraft of Ulua
- Phoenix
- Necromancy in Naat
