This massive collection brings together the entire body of Robert W. Chambers' weird fiction works including material unprinted since the 1890's. Chambers is a landmark author in the field of horror literature because of his King in Yellow collection. That book represents but a small portion of his weird fiction work, and these stories are intimately connected with the Cthulhu Mythos -- introducing Hali, Carcosa, and Hastur.Short stories from The King in Yellow, The Maker of Moons, The Mystery of Choice, The Tracer of Lost Persons, The Tree of Heaven, and two complete books, In Search of the Unknown and Police!!!This book contains all the immortal tales of Robert W. Chambers, including "The Repairer of Reputations," "The Yellow Sign," and "The Mask." These titles are often found in survey anthologies. In addition to the six stories reprinted from The King in Yellow (1895), this book also offers more than two dozen other stories and episodes, about 650 pages in all. These narratives rarely have appeared in print. Some have not been published in nearly a century.A Chambers novel, The Slayer of Souls (1920), is not included in this short story collection.… (más)

    La Saga de Hastur por Robert M. Price (cmc)
    cmc: Has The King in Yellow stories (obviously), as well as a selection of Chambers’s other “weird” works, some of which are subtle horror, some utterly silly (in a good way), and some even, dare I say, romantic.

While looking past the blatant racism and misogyny that is often pressed to simply be accepted as "of the time", Chambers' characters are completely wooden and never develop or learn. Some of the scenic descriptions are pure poetry, but lack any real essence of horror, inciting little to no fear. ( )

"Chambers is like Rupert Hughes and a few other fallen Titans — equipped with the right brains and education, but wholly out of the habit of using them." Such was H. P. Lovecraft's rather harsh judgment of Robert W. Chambers shortly after discovering him in 1927.
