LC reviewed Rey De Amarillo; El by Robert W. Chambers
Review of 'Rey De Amarillo; El' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The clues were easy to follow, until it's explicitly stated at the end. Great story. Unexpected.
An important early classic of fantasy/sci-fi. [Main story:] The ill effects of a soul-destroying play, to read which brings doom. A discovery that changes living flesh to stone. The mad adherents of a cult of evil powers from beyond. A lost traveler is suddenly 400 years in the past. Great writing; powerful emotions. Chambers wrote mainly conventional stuff, but not here.
