The Law of Fives states simply that: ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES, OR ARE DIVISIBLE BY OR ARE MULTIPLES OF FIVE, OR ARE SOMEHOW DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY APPROPRIATE TO 5.
The Law of Fives is never wrong.

The Law of Fives includes the word “Five” five times.

Chambers is a great writer, but he stopped writing horror stories and started writing romance stories which made him very rich. He is only now remembered for his earlier horror stories, and only his horror stories are in print although he wrote many books.

Lovecraft stated “Chambers is like Rupert Hughes and a few other fallen Titans - equipped with the right brains and education but wholly out of the habit of using them.”
