Produktbeschreibung
The dark star examines the invisible threads that bind individuals to a greater, often unfathomable force shaping fate through conflict, memory, and myth. Rooted in a symbolic cosmos where darkness carries more than menace, it reflects on how objects of the past and inherited experience leave lasting impressions, blurring the boundary between history and personal will. A symbolic figure tied to chaos hovers throughout, representing disruption and transformation, and casting a shadow over the unfolding journey. The narrative moves from innocence to awareness, showing how early fascination can lead to deeper confrontation with forces beyond control. It captures the tension between freedom and inevitability, portraying destiny not as fixed, but as something echoed and felt through generations. Through a gradual unfolding of thought and atmosphere, the story explores how unseen forces, once awakened, press against the edges of human understanding. In this space between light and shadow, the novel meditates on the conflict between inner belief and external influence.
Autorenporträt
Robert William Chambers was born on May 26, 1865, in Brooklyn, New York, to parents Caroline and William P. Chambers. He was an American artist and fiction writer, recognized primarily for his influential book of short stories, The King in Yellow, published in 1895. Chambers' writing style was influenced by notable authors such as Ambrose Bierce, Edgar Allan Poe, and Brian Stableford. While he initially studied art at the Art Students League of New York, his shift towards writing led to the creation of works that blended elements of horror, fantasy, and psychological drama. Chambers' works often explored themes of the macabre and mysterious, with The King in Yellow remaining his most famous work, contributing to the genre of weird fiction. His influence on the genre was significant, particularly on writers like H.P. Lovecraft. Chambers had a brother, Walter B. Chambers. He lived until the age of 68, passing away on December 16, 1933, in New York City. Though he is primarily remembered for his literary contributions, his impact extended to both art and speculative fiction.
