Autor

Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) was an American author best known for The King in Yellow (1895), a collection of eerie and interconnected tales that influenced the evolution of weird fiction. The mysterious and unsettling themes in the book inspired writers like H.P. Lovecraft. While Chambers wrote extensively in other genres, his supernatural stories remain his most celebrated work. Born in Brooklyn, he studied art in Paris before turning to writing, bringing vivid imagery to his prose.
