Clark Ashton Smith Inferno (Read by S.T. Joshi)

Spoken Arts label, Cadabra Records, announces the looming release of “Inferno”, an incredibly ominous limited 7-inch release, featuring the convoluted horror poetry of celebrated American writer Clark Ashton Smith. The “Inferno EP” marks the very first time any of Clark Ashton Smith's works have been set to audio, bringing five of his intensely visceral and pictorial poems writhing to life. For this macabre venture, the author's words are delivered with gripping conviction through the voice of renowned horror literary scholar S.T. Joshi, whom here delivers his first of such readings, the release scored with appropriately horrifying tones by dark ambient/industrial outfit Theologian. Limited edition of 500 copies pressed on transparent red vinyl comes with a special 6 panel foldout sleeve including an interview with S.T. Joshi on Clark Ashton Smith.The artwork is produced by Cadabra Records founder, Jonathan Dennison, while the sound was scored by Theologian.
