Page "Carcosa" Paragraph 32

Marion Zimmer Bradley also used the name Carcosa for a city on her fictional planet Darkover.

According to her, this usage and the appearance of other distinctive names from Chambers ' work dated from her own youthful fascination with The King in Yellow and her ambitions to produce her own reconstruction of the play on the basis of the fragments in Chambers ' works.

Only later did she transform those early fantasy writings into science fiction by relocating them from a parallel earth to a distant world under a red sun.
