Robert William Chambers was an American artist and fiction writer, best known for his book of short stories entitled The King in Yellow, which is considered one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction. Chambers wrote a number of novels, but returned from time to time to the short story format and to weird tales. The Maker of Moons is the first collection of short stories to follow the publication of The King in Yellow. It contains eight stories, including the title story, with the first three linked by a common theme. The other stories are a mix of romantic, humorous romantic and weird stories. This production includes all the stories of the original publication, including the black and white frontispiece illustration by Lancelot Speed.
