“The Disinterment of Venus” is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith that transports us to the year 1550. In the Perigon Abbey in Averoigne, something extraordinary and scandalous has occurred. Three monks—Paul, Pierre, and Hughes—unearth a marble statue of a goddess hidden in the monastery garden. Its arms and bosom evoke both pious terror and mysterious excitement. Could it be the ancient Venus herself? This discovery leads to a forbidden history, drawing the listener into the dark world of Averoigne. Will the daring monks uncover the truth about this enigmatic figure?

“The Disinterment of Venus” is a tale that immerses you in the whirl of mystical secrets and forbidden love. Are you ready for this journey?
