The Ninth Skeleton
by Clark Ashton Smith
It was beneath the immaculate blue of a morning in April that I set out to keep my appointment with Guenevere.

Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was a self-educated American poet, sculptor, painter and author of fantasy, horror and science fiction short stories.
