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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Chambers did return to the supernatural, however, he displayed all the imagination and skill which distinguished \u003cem\u003eThe King in Yellow\u003c\/em\u003e. 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 \u003cem\u003eThe Slayer of Souls\u003c\/em\u003e, which features a monstrous conspiracy to take over the world: a conspiracy which can only be stopped by supernatural forces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHugh Lamb has spent over forty years delving into weird fiction. Tired of anthologies reprinting the same old stories, he tried his hand at editing his own. His main area of research is Victorian ghost stories and he has published five anthologies of these: Victorian Tales of Terror, Terror by Gaslight, Victorian Nightmares, Tales from a Gaslit Graveyard, and Gaslit Nightmares.
