Return of the Sorcerer is a collection of CAS�� short stories from 1931-1941. They generally fall into a few categories: “modern�� pulp horror (generally pretty good for the period, including the title story, a grisly tale of zombie revenge, and “The Hunters From Beyond��), science fiction (maybe this stuff seemed slick in the early 30’s, but not too good now �� although I did like “The Vaults of Yoh-Vomis�� which was really more horror than SF, featuring a truly gruesome alien monster), “swords and sorcery��-type fantasy stories (generally adequate �� I enjoyed the faerie tale feel that Smith brought to “The Seven Geases��), and several supernatural tales set in medieval France (also decent for the period). This is a solid mix of pulp stories, mostly fun quick reads.
