Robert W. Chambers Books

Robert W. Chambers (1865–1933) was an American writer who studied art in New York and Paris and worked as an illustrator before turning to fiction. He is best known for The King in Yellow (1895), a collection of uncanny stories blending supernatural horror with decadent settings and the unsettling fictional play of its title. Chambers also wrote many popular historical and romantic novels, giving his career a wider range than his early reputation for weird fiction alone suggests.
