The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers. The King in Yellow is a book of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers, first published by F. Tennyson Neely in 1895. The fictional play The King in Yellow, has at least two acts and at least three characters: Cassilda, Camilla and The Stranger, who may or may not be the title character. Chambers borrowed the names Carcosa, Hali and Hastur from Ambrose Bierce: specifically, his short stories An Inhabitant of Carcosa and Haita the Shepherd. There is no strong indication that Chambers was influenced beyond liking the names. For example, Hastur is a god of shepherds in Haita the Shepherd, but is implicitly a location in The Repairer of Reputations, listed alongside the Hyades and Aldebaran.
