He was an important influence on Fritz Leiber, Theodore Sturgeon, Jack Vance, Robert E. Howard, Harlan Ellison, H. P. Lovecraft, and Ray Bradbury. He spun unusual tales of exotic settings, all told in a rich (almost baroque) style. Although he produced over 100 short stories, almost all of it was done in the six short years between 1930 and 1936. Today his works are hard to find, but the Ballantine books of the early 1970's and the Pocket books of early 1980's aren't *too* hard to find in used book stores. His poetry is also of interest to the SF reader, it shares many of the themes of his short stories. [C] == Story Collection. [CB] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet).
