The Prophets' Paradise

Written by Robert W. Chambers

Narrated by George Keller

With “The Prophets’ Paradise,” acclaimed horror writer Robert Chambers plays with form to create a series of dream-like prose poems. In one section, a woman empties a jar of blood on a patch of white flowers, crying out, “I have killed him I loved!” In another, a clown tells Death, “You are very beautiful.” These eerie, yet ethereal poems defy interpretation and will linger in the minds of readers.

Robert W. Chambers

Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was a Brooklyn-born artist and writer best known for producing supernatural, horror and weird tales. He published his first novel, In the Quarter in 1894 but didn’t receive major recognition until 1895 with a collection of short stories called The King in Yellow. Despite entries in other genres, such as romance and historical fiction, Chambers’ most acclaimed works were Gothic in nature. His eerie tales would go on to inspire a generation of writers including H.P. Lovecraft.
