I liked this one rather more than the preceding Volume 3 and rather less than the first volume. I had a bunch of favorites. Plutonium Drug puts forth a nifty twist on seeing the future and also details a A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies of interesting new drugs and poisons imported from various planets. Empire Volume 3 the Necromancers is the first in the Zothique story cycle - stories which feel like they were written by a death-mad Jack Vance from another dimension. Double Shadow is about the doom that befell two sorcerers and their pet mummy due to some poorly A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies trips to the very distant past - to crib the spells of a long-vanished serpent A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies, of all things. And The Demon of the Flower is as gorgeous, strange, and vicious as its titular monster; that CAS purple prose is at its most opulent. Poseidonis "A Vintage from Atlantis" pirates shouldn't drink so much! Hyperborea "The Weird of Avoosl Wuthoqqquan" don't be a greedy pig! Zothique "Empire of the Necromancers" the dead make poor servants! View all 8 comments. This collection is patchy and some of the stories have not aged well. Particularly jarring was "The Plutonian Drug" featuring an amazing substance called Plutonium, made from a lichen from Pluto. Of course a few years after the story was written the real Plutonium was discovered. For me the gothic horror stories set in medieval Averoigne work best and have stood the test of time. I also love the way CAS has with arcane and obscure words such as lich, mephitic and hierophant. Feb 21, Daniel rated it it was amazing. This volume is so far the strongest of the first three in the five that collect all of Clark Ashton Smith's work. The Volume 3 collected the stories in the order that Smith wrote them, and in the period represented by this volume Smith was writing some of his best work. In stories such as "The Empire of Volume 3 Necromancers," Smith is able to create worlds with scale and texture that rival that found in some of the doorstop, multi-volume fantasy tales I have read. His prose is descriptive and evocati This volume is so far the strongest of the first three in the five that collect all of Clark Ashton Smith's work. His prose is descriptive and evocative and his plots are adventurous and epic. To A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies a Clark Ashton Smith story is to enjoy a course of literary sustenance that is so filling that I forced myself to space my readings out, so as to maximize my enjoyment of every Volume 3. Thank you Nightshade for publishing these works in full, and giving them the shelf space they deserve. This is the third volume in the series of C. I liked A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies a bit more than the two previous volumes. And too often these stories run together on a similar theme: an explorer is captured by a superior alien race and will probably be sacrificed or killed, so he makes a desperate escape. Everything else is good at least worth a read Out of 21 stories here, 11 appeared in Weird Tales marked WT. Most others appeared in science fiction magazines like Wonder Stories and Astounding Stories. When I read it a couple years ago I thought: This is another story I can't say is bad, but not exactly my favorite type. It's a rather milder story, a sort of time travel romance. A man sent on a mission by the archbishop has acquired proof that the priest Azedarac is engaged in the black arts, but is sent back in time where he discovers hitherto unknown pleasures. A stonemason feared and hated by the townsfolk as a dabbler in the black arts seems to be the cause of a massacre when beasts much like the gargoyles he has carved start murdering people at night. A writer decides to track down his friend who entered the city of A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies Singing Flame, and finds himself drawn into a similar adventure. Seedling of Mars - A quite political, and in some ways utopian science fiction tale. This was one of the least interesting stories, although it does have some great moments of cosmic strangeness. Scientists investigating a spaceship that lands on earth become enclosed inside of it and whisked away to Mars where a giant organism wants to offer humanity a bargain that divides the liberal and conservative-minded. It actually made me feel like something was crawling on me at times. An exploring party on Mars goes to inspect an ancient, Volume 3 city, at first they find nothing, but that changes once they enter a huge catacomb. The Eternal World - Volume 3 pretty impressive science-fantasy story, with a very wild ending. This one has some great ideas Volume 3 it, but soon turns into more of an adventure story. A man builds a Volume 3 that projects him into a world of suspended time, but he and some other timeless beings are taken from this world by a large vessel. The Demon of the Flower - I liked this one a A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies, one of the pleasant surprises in this collection. A king seeks to destroy a tyrannical plant that demands a yearly sacrifice from his people. The Nameless Offspring ST A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies This earth-based horror story offers a nice break from the sci-fi stories. Smith paints what is a not-overly original tale, but in the moody, ghoulish pastels only he can. The notes on this story are interesting, speculating that it might not have been written at all had the magazine Strange Tales not existed, because it was likely too nasty for the editor of Weird Tales. Interesting, but not overly memorable. A crewman on a pirate ship recalls what happened after his crew drank a wine cask from a long dead civilization. A rich usurer refuses to give alms to a beggar, and later is led into a trap by his own greed. The Immortals of Mercury - This story is another sci-fi adventure story about a man captured by an alien race with some effective moments of weirdness. A explorer of Mercury is taken captive by a strange native race who seek to make him a sacrifice. Two necromancers summon up the dead of a long-dead city in the desert to do their bidding, but the spark of rebellion starts to fester in some of them. Two men are exploring the jungles of Volume 3 for rare orchids and one of them checks out a long-abandoned ruin, only to become infected by a horrific malady. A man who was buried alive fears a repeat of the affair, and fears his avaricious brother will allow it to A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies. Ubbo-Sathla WT - This one took a little time to get going, but it turns into a fairly impressive story. It becomes very effective as it goes and in terms of overall theme it's like something out of a Ligotti tribute. A man finds a strange crystal in a curio shop and staring into it is transported to primordial time. An apprentice to a sorcerer finds an ancient mirror washed up on the beach, after discovering how to perform the incantation connected with it nothing happens -- it's only later they find themselves plagued by horrors. A sculptor tries a rare drug that allows him to see into the Volume 3 and future. A chemist, cheated out of his discoveries decides to kill the man with a poison he has developed, that has a very strange result. The Colossus of Ylourgne WT - This might be my favorite story here, certainly this is one of the better long stories coming in around 14, words. An evil sorcerer A Vintage from Atlantis: The Collected Fantasies feels bitterly wronged by his fellow men esconds to an abandoned castle where he starts to build something to take revenge. The God of the Asteroid - This is a sad story, horrific too. It makes a lasting impression of grief and melancholy and was among favorites of the sci-fi stories in this volume.
