This book contains the best tales of Robert W. Chambers, including “The Repairer of Reputations,” “The Yellow Sign,” “The Mask,” and three others from The King in Yellow (1895). In addition, there are more than two dozen other stories and episodes, about 650 pages in all. Some have not appeared in print for nearly a century.

This is a complete collection of Robert W. Chambers’ weird short fiction–his published horror, science fiction, and fantsy/supernatural, as well as some self-conscious whimsy. The writing can be facile and out of fashion, of interest to collectors and those desiring to comprehend the writer. But other stories are as delicate and durable as those wrought by Lord Dunsany, and worthy of every reader’s time.
