From Tatters of the King

Written by Ambrose Bierce in the 1870s and thus predating the stories of Chambers, these stories have nothing in them that connects them with the mythos of the King in Yellow except their use of the names Carcosa (for a ruined city), [Hastur] (for a ebnign pagan god), [Hali] (for a prophet) and [Haita] (for a shepherd), all of which are names that appear in either Chambers' or Talbot Estus's work.

It is assumed by literary critics that Chambers borrowed the names from Bierce.
