Audiobooks by Robert W. Chambers

"There are books that haunt. The King in Yellow is one of them. First published in 1895, this cycle of four interlinked stories—The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign—offers a view into a world just a shade off from our own. Beneath the surface of elegant prose and civil order lies something broken, something touched by madness, art, power—and something unspeakably strange. A book within the book, a play that should never be read, threads through each tale, leaving behind not answers, but echoes. With quiet menace and disquieting beauty, Chambers sketches a fictional universe that lingers like a fevered dream. Not quite horror, not quite science fiction, not quite fantasy—The King in Yellow is a singular work. A whisper from the shadows. An invitation to look too long at the thing you cannot name. Contents • The Repairer of Reputations • The Mask • In the Court of the Dragon • The Yellow Sign"

In Search of the Unknown

"In Search of the Unknown by Robert W. Chambers is a whimsical, episodic tale blending adventure and natural history. The story follows two amateur zoologists, Douglas Quimby and “Bugs” Hartley, as they embark on a quest to capture rare and elusive creatures for a museum collection. Their misadventures lead them through swamps, forests, and caves, encountering bizarre animals and eccentric characters along the way. Chambers infuses humor and curiosity into their journey, celebrating the wonders of the natural world while critiquing humanity’s often destructive relationship with it. Though less cohesive than his earlier works, the novel captures a sense of wonder and discovery, reflecting Chambers’ fascination with the unknown. A charming blend of science and storytelling, In Search of the Unknown invites readers to marvel at life’s mysteries and the thrill of exploration."

"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. These facts few psychologists will dispute, and their admitted truth must establish for all time the genuineness and dignity of the weirdly horrible tale as a literary form… As may naturally be expected of a form so closely connected with primal emotion, the horror-tale is as old as human thought and speech themselves. H. P. Lovecraft Horror intends to create an eerie and frightening atmosphere for the reader. Prevalent elements include ghosts, demons, vampires, werewolves, ghouls, the Devil, witches, monsters, dystopian and apocalyptic worlds, serial killers, cannibalism, psychopaths, cults, dark magic, Satanism, the macabre, gore, and torture.

"In the heart of Paris, amidst the bohemian world of artists and dreamers, a chilling tale of mystery and the macabre unfolds. Louis De Cressac, a gifted painter, lives a life of solitude and obsession, haunted by a dark legacy tied to the sinister Black King. When his friend, Jack Scott, visits, he is drawn into a world where art and the supernatural intertwine in terrifying ways. Strange occurrences and whispers of the otherworldly plague De Cressac's studio, where shadows move of their own accord and eerie figures seem to lurk in the periphery. As Jack delves deeper into the enigma surrounding his friend, he uncovers a hidden lineage of dark magic and an ancient curse that binds them both to a destiny they cannot escape. 'The Messenger' is a masterful blend of gothic horror and psychological intrigue, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur. Robert W. Chambers weaves a spellbinding narrative that captures the essence of fear and the unknown, drawing readers into a realm where the past and present collide with chilling consequences.
