Does /lit/ like Lord Dunsany?

I'm just trying to get into his stuff now. Someone posted a really amazing short story here about a guy going on a quest in some fantastical land, to retrieve a key, or something?

What part of Dunsany's work is more like that? I picked up a book of his, but it seems to be more on the fantasy bestiary side of things.

What I liked about that original story was that it was kind of Borgesian without having its tongue welded to its cheek about it. It just went with it. Borges stories always seem like a Rubik's cube with a very specific point I'm supposed to take away about semiotics or some shit, it's too fucking "tightly wound" or something.

I just finished the Penguin volume of his stories (In the Land of Time and Other Fantasy Tales). I absolutely loved it.

His "Tales of Wonder" are like this. They are in the aforementioned Penguin volume. They include:
- "The Sword of Welleran" *
- "The Kith of the Elf-Folk"
- "The Ghosts"
- "The Fortress Unvanquishable, Save for Sacnoth" *
- "Bladgaross"
- "Idle Days on the Yann" *
- "A Shop in Go-by Street" *
- "The Avenger of Perdondaris" *
- "The Bride of the Man-Horse"

* = especially similar to what you described

Thanks a lot my dude. That's over and above the kind of effort I was asking for.

Sorry, my listing doesn't correspond to the actual volume Tales of Wonder. I assumed they would, but it looks like the editor of the Penguin arranged the stories thematically instead of by-volume.

oh no problem, man, just trying to share the love for obscure weird fiction

Can Dunsany's work really even be considered 'weird fiction'? I feel like he fits squarely into 'fantasy' or the 'romantic' genre. I think it's actually a disgrace to call his style 'weird fiction'.
