The King in Yellow is a premier collection of horror fiction
consisting of 10 short stories with similar styles or concepts
shaped by early mythology. Half the tales highlight an infamous
play that's rumored to invoke fear, paranoia and madness within its
readers. The first four stories feature a "yellow" theme tied to
the play, a specific symbol or supernatural force. "The Repairer of
Reputations," "The Mask," "In the Court of the Dragon" and "The
Yellow Sign" have a strong connection due to a shared motif and
macabre tone. The book's other entries subvert expectations by
shifting focus to less mythical topics like war and romance. Each
setting varies with action occurring in either America or Europe.
More than 100 years after its release, The King in Yellow is
considered an essential work of horror fiction. Chambers' chilling
prose and intricate world-building has made it a favorite among
scholars and genre fans alike. Its reach spans multiple mediums
including television and film, making it one of the most
influential books of all-time. With an eye-catching new cover, and
professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The King in
Yellow is both modern and readable.
