R. W. Chambers Bücher
Robert William Chambers erlangte Bekanntheit durch seine Sammlung bizarrer Erzählungen, 'Der König in Gelb'. Dieses Werk, verbunden durch ein fiktives Theaterstück desselben Namens, befasst sich mit Themen, die die Psyche des Lesers beeinflussen und die beunruhigende Macht der Kunst erforschen. Obwohl Chambers das Genre der seltsamen Fiktion in späteren Sammlungen wieder aufgriff, bleibt seine bleibendste literarische Spur diese Erkundung von kosmischem Schrecken und Wahnsinn. Später wandte er sich der romantischen und historischen Fiktion zu und erzielte damit bedeutenden kommerziellen Erfolg und Bestsellerstatus.
