I apologize to those of you who are getting this twice, but I thought many
of you might be interested. McNaughton's THRONE OF BONES is to Clark
Ashton Smith what Wagner's KANE is to REH.

>The collection called "Even More Nasty Stories" includes a tale called

>This collection also contains "The Benevolent Emperor," written as a
>tribute to Clark Ashton Smith, that is not entirely unlike my "Bones"
>stuff. (And elsewhere available only in an anthology that sells for
>about sixty bucks a pop.)

>Of the novels, I would recommend "Worse Things Waiting," which may be
