Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer of {{horror}}, {{fantasy}} and ScienceFiction. He is most notable for being one of the founders of the Franchise/CthulhuMythos along with Creator/HPLovecraft, Creator/RobertEHoward and others. Smith's early works were influenced by Creator/TheBrothersGrimm, Creator/EdgarAllanPoe, and William Beckford's ''Literature/{{Vathek}}'', while his early poetry caught the attention of George Sterling, who helped him publish ''The Star-Treader and Other Poems'', his first collection of poetry, and also introduced him to the poetry of Charles Baudelaire, who became another important influence. Smith's 1920 poem ''The Hashish Eater, or The Apocalypse of Evil'' prompted H. P. Lovecraft to send him a fan letter, which was the beginning of a lifelong friendship and correspondence between the two. Lovecraft would pay homage to his friend in ''Literature/TheWhispererInDarkness'', which makes reference to an ancient [[{{Atlantis}} Atlantean]] high priest named [[{{Tuckerization}} Klarkash-Ton]].

* GodOfTheDead: in ''The Charnel God'', the god of Zul-Bha-Sair, Mordiggian, claims all the dead in the city. Despite his ghoulish reputation, he deals fairly with the people of the city, and personally corrects a MiscarriageOfJustice.
Deleted line(s) 149 (click to see context) :
* MalevolentMaskedMen: In ''The Charnel God'', the sinister priests of Mordiggian are never seen without their huge silver skull masks. [[spoiler: Ultimately subverted: Mordiggian is actually a benign deity and is not malicious to those who have not personally offended him or his followers, like the hero and his NotQuiteDead wife.]]
