Title: A real fantasy classic
Product review: I was skeptical when I read the glowing reviews of this book -- after all, comparisons with Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith are easily made, but seldom realized. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Brian McNaughton is indeed worthy to enter the pantheon of the great dark fantasists. This book concerns ghouls, and if you have a distaste for the undead and the things they dine upon, I suggest you look elsewhere for your reading enjoyment. If, on the other hand, you are looking for a worthy successor to the mantle of the late Clark Ashton Smith, you need look no further. Earthier than Smith was permitted to be in his day, these stories still have the same ability to transport the reader worlds away to exotic cities, vast necropili, and other locales near and dear to the dark fantasy-lover's heart. Highly recommended.
