The Prophets Paradise

Robert W. Chanbers The King in Yellow, a collection of short stories, is considered one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction. Within the collection is The Prophets Paradise, a dream-like narrative of prose and poetry. Featuring personifications of Love and Truth, the storys structure has a palindrome-like quality with internal repetition. Romantic in tone and ambiguous in theme, The Prophets Paradise is one of Chambers more experimental pieces.
