Zothique is the setting of a cycle of stories by Clark Ashton Smith, depicting the last continent on a dying Earth millions of years hence. Civilizations have risen and fallen beyond memory, and the remnant humanity inhabits a world overrun by necromancy and demon-gods.
Smith used the setting to explore decadence, entropy, and cosmic futility. The Zothique cycle straddles the line between dying-earth fantasy and cosmic horror.
