Without any formal training, Smith began to paint and draw his strange visions of sentient plants, grotesque creatures from other dimensions, and throbbing alien landscapes. Eventually commissioned to provide illustrations for Weird Tales<\/em>, he became one of Lovecraft\u2019s most voluminous correspondents (though never as voluminous as Lovecraft himself). Over the next 10 years, they filled one another\u2019s mailboxes with effusive admiration for each other\u2019s stories and poems. With Lovecraft\u2019s adulatory wind at his back, Smith never strayed far from the Long Valley, and sat home to produce more than a hundred bizarre, linguistically challenging, often unforgettable stories and novelettes for the pulp magazines between 1925 and 1936. Unsurprisingly, Smith\u2019s spurt of fictional creativity didn\u2019t survive the death of Lovecraft in 1937, and while that rich burst of stories may not have earned Smith much money or fame, it caused an almost episteme-shifting earthquake in the brains of the young, aspiring writers lucky enough to read him.<\/p>\n
