“An absolute masterpiece, probably the single greatest book of weird fantasy written in this country between the death of Poe and the rise of Lovecraft, and it was an influence on Lovecraft himself.”
— Lin Carter

One of the best examples of Victorian-gothic horror, The King in Yellow is a collection of ten inter-related stories and a sequence of poems that explore the despair and madness that afflict characters who come into contact with the forbidden play. Published in 1895, The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers has inspired other horror-genre writers including H. P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, Robert E. Howard, and other classic weird fiction writers.

"It is whispered that there is a play that leaves only insanity and sorrow in its wake. It tempts those who read it, bringing upon them a vision of madness that should be left unseen...The stories herein traverse the elements of that play, and the words, themes and poetry, are permeated by the presence of The King in Yellow, weaving together to leave upon the reader the ruinous impression of the Yellow Sign."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was an American illustrator and writer, best known for The King in Yellow, his influential and odd collection of ten macabre and French short stories first published in 1895. The title refers to a fictional play featured in four of the stories, and to a mysterious and malevolent supernatural entity within that play who may very well exist outside of it. It is whispered that the play leaves only insanity and sorrow in its wake; it tempts those who read it, bringing upon them hallucinations.
