Behind these doors lie romances of vanished courts, haunted studios, distant wars, and the pale, troubling light of stranger worlds. The Robert W. Chambers Library presents the works of Robert W. Chambers read in full: tales of beauty, peril, desire, and that subtle shadow which falls across even the brightest afternoon. Enter quietly; some books are best approached as one approaches a dream, or a forbidden play.Public domain
