These carefully selected works can be fiction, non-fiction, historical documents or even biographies. We will always select for you three great works to instigate your mind, this time the topic is:Romantic Era- The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers- 7 Best Short Stories by H.P. Lovecraft- 7 best short stories by M. R. JamesThe King in Yellow is a collection of short stories written by Robert W. Chambers and published in 1895. The stories could be categorized as early horror fiction or Victorian Gothic fiction, but the work also touches on mythology, fantasy, mystery, science fiction and romance. Lovecraft created a new brand of horror, discarding ghosts and witches and instead unleashing nightmarish fiends to whom mankind is a hapless tiny spot of dwindling sanity in a malevolent universe. 7 best short stories by H.P. Lovecraft is a selection chosen by the critic August Nemo, that reveals the mesmerizing narrative style of the visionary american writer. M. R. James redefined the ghost story by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichs and using more realistic contemporary settings. H.P. Lovecraft was a fan, and wrote a review on his work: &quote;...gifted with an almost diabolic power of calling horror by gentle steps from the midst of prosaic daily life.&quote; he says, also adding: &quote;Dr. James has, it is clear, an intelligent and scientific knowledge of human nerves and feelings; and knows just how to apportion statement, imagery, and subtle suggestions in order to secure the best results with his readers.&quote; The critic Augst Nemo selected seven short stories for you to enter the gloomy world of M. R. James. This is one of many books in the series 3 Books To Know. If you liked this book, look for the other titles in the series, we are sure you will like some of the topics

Über die Autorin/den Autor

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890 1937) was an American writer who achieved posthumous fame through his influential works of horror fiction. He was virtually unknown and published only in pulp magazines before he died in poverty, but he is now regarded as one of the most significant 20th-century authors in his genre.

Robert W. Chambers(1865-1933), an American artist, short story writer, and novelist, is best remembered for his strange, often paranormal short stories. Although Chambers often wrote in other genres, including romance and historical fiction, his spooky stories are noted as his most original and trailblazing contributions to fiction.

Many people regard M. R. James (1862-1936) as the finest writer of ghost stories in the English language. Though James's work as a medievalist and scholar is still highly regarded, he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some regard as among the best in the genre. James redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, James's protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the "antiquarian ghost story".
