My first encounter with Smith was in an old Judy Merril anthology with "A
Planet Named Shayol." It knocked me sideways---and I was far from being an
infernologist at the time!

Agreed: start with the mature work. Don't forget "The Dead Lady of Clown
Town." Or even "Mother Hitton's Littul Kittons." Don't read those Casher
O'Neill novellas first as the Rat suggests---they're for after you know the
score.

Yes yes yes. There's just so much good Smith. :-)
