Pretty good

I'm a big Clark Ashton Smith fan, and this book is full of excellent performances from everybody involved with the exception of some of the accents. I rated the story a 3 because I don't really see these as what somebody would normally think of when it comes to his work. Not as much weird, macabre, fantasy, or dying earth style themes that practically drip off of some of his other work. There's enough quality in the writing that it's still worth listening to, and they're some excellent stories peppered in there, but I wouldn't rate it higher than 3 stars for story in comparison to other collections of his work.
