Chambers was an American writer of the early 1900's. He started as an artist, studying in France and Germany, and later turned to writing. His best known work is probably The King In Yellow, a collection of stories supposedly about a book that drove those who wrote it mad. It's considered an influence on Lovecraft and an early example of Horror.
