  The Witchcraft Of Ulua - Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz 
  Clark Ashton Smith (January 13, 1893 – August 14, 1961) was an American writer and artist. He achieved early local recognition, largely through the enthusiasm of George Sterling, for traditional verse in the vein of Swinburne. As a poet, Smith is grouped with the West Coast Romantics alongside Joaquin Miller, Sterling, and Nora May French and remembered as "The Last of the Great Romantics" and "The Bard of Auburn". Smith's work was praised by his contemporaries. H. P. Lovecraft stated that "in sheer daemonic strangeness and fertility of conception, Clark Ashton Smith is perhaps unexcelled", and Ray Bradbury said that Smith "filled my mind with incredible worlds, impossibly beautiful cities, and still more fantastic creatures". 
  Smith was one of "the big three of Weird Tales, with Robert E. Howard and H. P. Lovecraft", though some readers objected to his morbidness and violation of pulp traditions. The fantasy writer and critic L. Sprague de Camp said of him that "nobody since Poe has so loved a well-rotted corpse".[3] Smith was a member of the Lovecraft circle, and his literary friendship with Lovecraft lasted from 1922 until Lovecraft's death in 1937. His work is marked by an extraordinarily rich and ornate vocabulary, a cosmic perspective and a vein of sardonic and sometimes ribald humor. 
  Of his writing style, Smith stated: "My own conscious ideal has been to delude the reader into accepting an impossibility, or series of impossibilities, by means of a sort of verbal black magic, in the achievement of which I make use of prose-rhythm, metaphor, simile, tone-color, counter-point, and other stylistic resources, like a sort of incantation."

  "There you are Doctor, we were looking everywhere for you. We have another job for you," an orderly said. 
  "For heaven's sake don't beat around the bush!" Grumbled the Doctor. 
  "Another freshy for you!" said the orderly. 
  "Please refrain from referring to them as freshies call them a dead person!" hissed the doctor. 
  "Ok another dead person!" said the orderly. 
  "Take me to them," the doctor demanded. 
  "Doctor Death has come to do his job," announced the orderly to the nervous nurse inside the room with the body. 
  "I'm a coroner, not Doctor Death," said the Doctor entering the room. 
  "So sorry!" a reaper said walking out of the room. The doctor ran to the bedside of the dead person. 
  "Oh my god no," the doctor said weeping tears of blue electric fire which crystalized betraying his inhumanity to his colleagues. 
  "Blue Midnight is Doctor Death!" cried the orderly. 
  "Really, Sherlock how didn't you know!" said Blake crying, 
  "I was called here by my son because my wife was critical!" 
  "I just told him about his wife's death! Hey! That's your job telling people their relatives are dead!" the orderly moaned. 
  "I'll do you the same favor one day!" snarled Blake. 
  A man in a mask and a tux stood by a grave of his friend's dead wife. 
  "Angela Alexander you will live again!" The man said, "You will reincarnate in the past!" 
  "Argent. What are you doing lurking in the graveyard!" Angela's grieving widower snapped finding it an odd place to find fate. 
  "Oh hi, Mortimer what bring the king of the grim reapers here?" Argent said. 
  "My wife is buried here It gives me a right and reason to be here," said 
  the reaper Mortimer.
