Northwest Smith by C L Moore

Paperback. Condition: Good. 1982. Ace. Stock image.

In 1933 C. L. Moore contributed the first of her famous Northwest Smith stories to the old Weird Tales magazine. (Remarkable in that she was not only young, but a woman who was featured in a magazine dominated by male authors.)

That shadowy tale was called "Shambleau" and it took the Gorgon/Medusa legend out of earthly trappings and placed it on other worlds.

The Northwest Smith stories continued over a period of years with a great degree of success. This collection offers ten of these fantastic, interplanetary tales, personally selected for this volume by the author.
