from
Wikipedia
Most of Smith's weird fiction falls into four series set variously in Hyperborea, Poseidonis, Averoigne and Zothique.
Hyperborea, which is a lost continent of the Miocene period, and Poseidonis, which is a remnant of Atlantis, are much the same, with a magical culture characterized by bizarreness, cruelty, death and postmortem horrors.
Averoigne is Smith's version of pre-modern France, comparable to James Branch Cabell's Poictesme.
Zothique exists millions of years in the future.
It is " the last continent of earth, when the sun is dim and tarnished ".
These tales have been compared to the Dying Earth sequence of Jack Vance.
