Avon Fantasy Reader No. 9 — Clarke Ashton Smith's Flower-Women vs. Dragon

On an alien world bathed in crimson and shadow, two pale, wild-haired women — their bodies adorned with vivid red flower markings — writhe in the coiling tendrils of a monstrous green dragon-creature with membranous wings and cold reptilian eyes. The scene pulses with lurid menace, visualizing Clarke Ashton Smith's exotic fantasy 'The Flower-Women,' where beauty and horror intertwine in equal measure across a savage, otherworldly landscape.
