Sterling is litetary inheritor to Ambrose Bierce and guide to Clark Ashton Smith--while his output is slender and restricted to poetry, he is important for fans of Bierce and/or Smith. All three are San Francisco writers with Decadent leanings and an interest in the fantastic, from the macabre to the sublime.
