The short fiction of Robert W. Chambers ranges from the light romantic fantasies to the darkly weird. Through all, his imagination travels across the borders of the known and unknown in nature and the supernatural. This first volume includes his stories of strange zoology and anthropology: The Harbor-Master, In Quest of the Dingue, Is the Ux Extinct?, The Sphyx, A Matter of Interest, The Man at the Next Table, The Third Eye, The Immortal, The Ladies of the Lake, One Over, Un Peu d'Amour, and The Eggs of the Silver Moon.
