I suppose you could call her Northwest Smith stories Science Fantasy rather than Science Fiction, since they have a sword-and-sorcery feel even though taking place on another planet and mentioning spaceships and ray guns. Sort of like Flash Gordon with more literary value. Or Indiana Jones in Outer Space. (It's pretty obvious that Indie has quite a bit of N.W. in him.)
This thread was inspired by the fact that I am currently reading a collection called The Best of C. L. Moore. I just finished "Shambleau" and "Black Thirst" (the former being one I've read before) and I'm now moving on to Jirel of Joiry.
Her stories are colorful and fun, but it seems that the lady had an unnaturally intense aversion to black slime.
