The King in Yellow

Exploring the haunting themes of a mysterious play, this collection delves into the lives of those ensnared by its dark influence. Set primarily in Paris, the stories weave a tapestry of horror that hints at a larger mythology, featuring shadowy figures, alien landscapes, and ancient evils. Chambers' unique style has influenced subsequent works, including the Cthulhu Mythos. This edition is enriched with a preface by August Moldenhauer, offering additional insights into the enduring legacy of Chambers' work in weird fiction.
