For the first time in one volume, the best stories of one of
America's most popular classic authors of the supernatural. Robert
William Chambers' The King in Yellow (1895) has long been
recognised as a landmark work in the field of the macabre, and has
been described as the most important work of American supernatural
fiction between Poe and the moderns. Despite the book's success,
its author was to return only rarely to the genre during the
remainder of a writing career which spanned four decades. When
Chambers did return to the supernatural, however, he displayed all
the imagination and skill which distinguished The King in Yellow.
He created the enigmatic and seemingly omniscient Westrel Keen, the
'Tracer of Lost Persons', and chronicled the strange adventures of
an eminent naturalist who scours the earth for 'extinct' animals -
and usually finds them. One of his greatest creations, perhaps, was
1920's The Slayer of Souls, which features a monstrous conspiracy
to take over the world: a conspiracy which can only be stopped by
supernatural forces. For the first time in a single volume, Hugh
Lamb has selected the best of the author's supernatural tales,
together with an introduction which provides further information
about the author who was, in his heyday, called 'the most popular
writer in America'.
