- Breve biografia
- Robert W. Chambers begann seine Karriere als Maler. Der Amerikaner reiste nach Paris, um dort Kunst zu studieren, und brachte es 1889 sogar zu einer Ausstellung. Aber sein eigentlicher Ruhm begann erst nach seiner Rückkehr nach Amerika. Zunächst arbeitete er als Illustrator für Magazine und Zeitschriften, schrieb dann aber bald auch selber Geschichten. 1895 erschien THE KING IN YELLOW. Das Buch wurde zu einem Bestseller und erlaubte Chambers sich ganz auf das Schreiben zu verlegen. In den darauffolgenden Jahren folgte eine Vielzahl von Romanen und Erzählungen, meist unheimlich-phantastischer Art. Später verlegte Chambers sich auf historische und Gesellschaftsromane, die zu seinen Lebzeiten viel Leser fanden, heute jedoch vergessen sind. In Erinnerung blieb sein KING IN YELLOW, in dessen lose miteinander verknüpften Geschichten ein Buch mit dem Titel "Der König in Gelb" den Protagonisten Tod und Wahnsinn bringt. H. P. Lovecraft lieh sich die Idee später für sein legendäres "Necronomicon" aus und bedankte sich, indem er in vielen seiner Geschichten Referenzen an Chambers einbaute. Die Geschichten um den "König in Gelb" gelten als Klassiker der amerikanischen Phantastik. (aus "Der gelbe Tod")

I have to admit I did not read the original novel and came across character's name in W40K novel and a story arc called Providence based on Lovecraft's works. While former is set to the far future where terrors unlike those from Lovecraft mythos roam the space and prey on Humanity, latter aimed only at the pure shock, nothing else, they had this mysterious creature as a common element - King in Yellow, destroying the minds of man and condemning them to terror and lunacy. So imagine my surprise when I found out that King in Yellow was a book on itself.
Art is excellent (as seems to be the trademark of Cullbard's books) and it depicts in very interesting way psychological state of the characters and ever present, almost palpable, doom and mystery of this horrific book that destroys the mind of anyone who reads it.
Highly recommended to all fans of horror.… (altro)
