Reading The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies | Alexandria
Read The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies by Clark Ashton Smith. Probing reality's darkest corners, Smith's tales reveal how cosmic horror paradoxically awakens us to life's beauty by showing its fragility. Through decadent prose that bridges horror and philosophy, he suggests that confronting meaninglessness is the key to finding authentic meaning—a message even more vital in our uncertain times.
