Chambers was a writer whose imaginative fiction peaked in his first genre book and went downhill from there.

Anna Katherine Green Robert W. Chambers was an American mainstream, adventure and supernatural writer who is today noted by mystery fans for a single, well done, excursion in their genre, "The Purple Emperor". Chambers explicitly mentions "the detective story" at one point, contrasting the "real life" of the story with detective fiction; this is another of the many self-reflexive references to detective fiction within detective stories themselves. Chambers also follows Green in that there is little emphasis on a pure puzzle plot, but a great deal on detection. members.aol.com /MG4273/green.htm   (12217 words)
