Red World of Polaris has for many years been the holy grail for Clark Ashton Smith fans. A tale of Captain Volmar, it's been oft discussed but never seen, until now. Night Shade is proud to present Red World of Mars, a Clark Ashton Smith mini-collection. Along with the title novella "The Red World of Polaris", it will include the other Volmar stories as well: "Marooned in Andromeda", "A Captivity in Serpens", "The Ocean-World of Alioth". Ronald Hilger contributes the introduction, "The Magellan of Constellations: An Introduction" and Donald Sydney-Fryer the afterword, "Captain Volmar and Crew: An Afterword".
