À propos de l'auteur
Robert W. Chambers (1865–1933) was an American author primarily recognized for his influential supernatural fiction and his contributions to the genre of weird fiction. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Chambers pursued art studies in Paris at the École des Beaux-Arts but ultimately found his passion in writing. His eclectic oeuvre spans romance, war stories, and social satire, but it is 'The King in Yellow' (1895), a collection of macabre tales connected by a fictional forbidden play, that remains his most celebrated work, influencing authors such as H.P. Lovecraft. The collection is noted for its otherworldly, often eerie ambience which perfectly captures the aesthetic of the fin de siècle. In 1904, Chambers published 'In Search of the Unknown', a series of linked stories centering around mysterious and fantastical creatures, showcasing his ability to blend elements of adventure with the supernatural. While the latter part of Chambers's career focused on romantic fiction, where he achieved commercial success, his early tales of the uncanny continue to resonate with admirers of speculative fiction and horror, securing his place in the pantheon of early 20th-century American genre writers. Scholars often note Chambers's lush prose, vivid settings, and imaginative range, qualities that cement his status as a significant, if at times overlooked, figure in the literary landscape of the strange and the haunting.
