Robert William Chambers (May 26, 1865 – December 16, 1933) was an American artist and writer. He wrote {{horror}}, {{romance}} and {{historical fiction}} and, unlike most of his contemporaries and those who followed in his footsteps (such as Creator/RobertEHoward and Creator/HPLovecraft), was quite successful and lived comfortably thanks to his romance stories. His best-remembered work (to the point of making him a OneHitWonder) is ''Literature/TheKingInYellow''.
