  • In Search of the Unknown

    Sent After Creatures That Cannot Exist

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    A naturalist for the Bronx zoo is sent after creatures that should not exist — the great auk, a transparent people in a Florida swamp, a mammoth in the north — and falls in love in every chapter. Chambers wrote it in 1904 as a comedy with the machinery of a scientific romance, and the joke is that the monsters are always less trouble than the women. The last story is the one that stops being funny ... Read more

    by Robert W. Chambers ...

  • The King in Yellow

    Tales of a Play That Maddens Its Readers

    by Robert W. Chambers ...
    A play in two acts circulates through Europe; those who finish reading it go mad. Chambers gathered his linked tales around that idea in 1895, invented the Yellow Sign, borrowed lost Carcosa from Ambrose Bierce, and then — having built the vocabulary that Lovecraft and half of modern horror would borrow — turned to writing romances for the rest of his life. The first four stories are why the book ... Read more
