United States Editorial Review

If you are a fan of Lovecraftian tales and genre classics, then Clark Ashton Smith's The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies might be a worthy addition to your library which offers plenty of material to dig into. However, please note that some of the stories might be hard to read and require a well-stocked vocabulary arsenal along with google's help. Additionally, the book is a combination of a collection of stories, Prose poems, and poetry that varies in quality - some were real gems while others were too cumbersome and required a lot of skimming to get through. The Penguin Classics edition is a beautiful book undermined by the poor formatting and editing, which can be a distraction if you're looking to be entirely immersed in the world presented. Ultimately, if you're looking for some thrilling and terrifying reads, and don't mind putting in the effort and time to comb through the book's contents, then The Dark Eidolon and Other Fantasies might be a good pick.
