With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. 'I read it and reread
it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all
times assails me yet'. With its strange, imaginative blend of
horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W.
Chambers' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird
fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the
presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright,
madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of
futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious
poison. Dare you read it? This collection has been called the most
important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the
moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose
own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that The
King in Yellow 'achieves notable heights of cosmic fear'.
