A mysterious city called Carcosa filled with ancient curses and dark magics. A terrible play called 'The King in Yellow' which drives its readers mad. A demi-god escaped from another dimension seeking global domination. Terrifying and filled with otherworldly dread, the stories of Robert W. Chambers are landmark works in horror.

His stories have inspired generations of horror writers including Robert E. Howard, Karl Edward Wagner and H. P. Lovecraft as well as the modern TV show True Detective.
