What is In Search of the Unknown about?
The stories feature a man who searches for lost species -- animals not seen for centuries -- and as we follow him on these journeys we're introduced to a variety of amazing creatures including the half-man, half-amphibian called "the harbor master".American writer Robert W. Chambers is best known for his book “The King in Yellow,” a collection of short stories mostly of the macabre horror variety. His book “In Search of the Unknown,” published in 1904, shows a more lighthearted side to Chambers. This work is ostensibly a novel, but it reads more like a collection of short stories that have been cobbled together into one continuous narrative. They are linked by a frame narrative (the protagonist is sent to help secure an odd creature) and similar structure (the protagonist falls in love and fails to win the heart of the source of his infatuation).
