Overview

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers is a haunting collection of loosely connected stories that move between refined society, artistic longing, and creeping psychological unease. Several early tales stand in the shadow of a mysterious forbidden play whose influence unsettles the people who encounter it. Chambers blends romantic, decadent, and eerie elements to create an atmosphere where beauty and dread sit close together.
