About Author

Robert W. Chambers

Robert William Chambers was born on May 26, 1865, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Caroline and William P. Chambers. He was an American artist and fiction writer, recognized primarily for his influential book of short stories, The King in Yellow, published in 1895. Chambers’ writing style was influenced by notable authors such as Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, and Brian Stableford. While he initially studied art at the Art Students League of New York, his shift towards writing led to the creation of works that blended elements of horror, fantasy, and psychological drama. Chambers' works often explored themes of the macabre and mysterious, with The King in Yellow remaining his most famous work, contributing to the genre of weird fiction. His influence on the genre was significant, particularly on writers like H.P. Lovecraft. Chambers had a brother, Walter B. Chambers. He lived until the age of 68, passing away on December 16, 1933, in New York City. Though he is primarily remembered for his literary contributions, his impact extended to both art and speculative fiction.
