If you were drawn to the vivid, poetic language and evocative landscapes in Genius Loci, you'll be mesmerized by The King in Yellow. Chambers crafts decadent, haunting settings—like the strange city of Carcosa—that linger in your imagination, much as Smith's Averoigne or Zothique do. The stories' dreamlike aura and detailed environments will transport you to otherworldly realms.

If you reveled in the cosmic dread and mythic undertones of tales like "The Dark Eidolon," The House on the Borderland offers a similarly eerie journey into the unknown. Hodgson's tale uses its crumbling house and the endless void beyond as powerful symbols for reality's fragility, delivering a story rich in allegory and otherworldly terror.

If you loved the mysterious, unfathomable magic and fantastical occurrences in Smith's stories—such as the inexplicable powers of the wizard Malygris—you’ll be enchanted by Lovecraft’s dreamlands. The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath is filled with bizarre gods, arcane rituals, and magic that defies understanding, immersing you in an enigmatic and wondrous world.

If the brooding, fatalistic mood of stories like "The Charnel God" and "Xeethra" resonated with you, The Broken Sword will grip you with its relentless sense of tragedy. Anderson’s tale is steeped in Norse myth, bloodshed, and doomed fates, presenting a world as bleak and haunting as Smith’s own nightmarish visions.

If you were fascinated by the intricate, ancient worlds of Poseidonis or Zothique, The Worm Ouroboros will satisfy your craving for meticulously crafted lands. Eddison’s novel transports you to Mercury, where baroque kingdoms and alien customs are rendered in loving detail, echoing Smith’s penchant for immersive, otherworldly settings.
