And year by year the cold terror of the endless deeps, the vertiginous horror of untold infinitude, had crept like a slow paralysis upon the souls of the crew; and a nostalgia for the distant earth had swept them with unutterable sickness; till they could bear it no longer, and had made their hasty, ill-planned attempt to secure control of the vessel and turn it homeward. <br \/><br \/>- Clark Ashton Smith, <em>Marooned in Andromeda<\/em>, 1930 <br \/><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.nodragonshere.com\/Sprigs_and_Kindling_Volume_5_October_2025.pdf\">Read Sprigs & Kindling Volume 5 (2025) in full here.<\/a><br \/><br \/>Editor-In-Chief<br \/>Amanda Mullins<br \/><br \/>Chief Layout Artist<br \/>Alexander Thomas Guy Coursolle<br \/><br \/>Chief Copy Editor<br \/>Rebecca Hall<br \/><br \/>Deputy Editor<br \/>J.
