Re: Algernon Blackwood and Clark Ashton Smith

"Sand" can be found, as I recall, in his Tales of the Mysterious and Macabre. I'll dig out my Blackwood later and see exactly where to find it....

"Sand" is amazing, and contains some of his best writing. He makes the desert into a living force. I read the story a number of years ago, and it still haunts me.

Re: Algernon Blackwood and Clark Ashton Smith

All right, I stand corrected (blasted fading memory!) "Sand" can be found in Ancient Sorceries and Other Weird Stories, ed. by S. T. Joshi. And yes, it is in that category: in this edition, it is 75 pages in length....
