A bestselling author of turn-of-the-century romances now forgotten, Robert W. Chambers is remembered today for his story collection "The King in Yellow" and its influence upon contemporary weird fiction, from the work of Joe Pulver to HBO's True Detective.
"Song of my soul, my voice is dead,/ Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed/ Shall dry and die in/ Lost Carcosa." - Robert W. Chambers, "Cassilda's Song in The King in Yellow."
