"The Collected Fantasies" series presents all of Smith s fiction chronologically. Authorized by the author s estate and endorsed by Arkham House, the stories in this series are accompanied by detailed background notes from editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger, who in preparation for this collection meticulously compared original manuscripts, various typescripts, published editions, and Smith s own notes and letters. Their efforts have resulted in the most definitive and complete collection of the author s work to date. "The Door to Saturn" is the second of five volumes collecting all of Clark Ashton Smith s tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. It includes all of his stories from The Door to Saturn (1930) to The Hunters from Beyond (1931), as well as an introduction by Tim Powers. "
