A milestone of American supernatural fiction, The King in Yellow
created a sensation upon its 1895 publication. Since then, it has
markedly influenced writers in the genre, most famously, H. P.
Lovecraft. Author Robert W. Chambers has been hailed as a writer of
remarkable imaginative powers and the historic link between Edgar
Allan Poe and Stephen King. This edition features the original 10
gripping stories. The book is named after a fictional play with the
same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories. The
first half of the book features highly esteemed weird stories, and
the book is described by S.T. Joshi as a classic in the field of
the supernatural. There are ten stories, the first four of which,
"The Repairer of Reputations", "The Mask", "In the Court of the
Dragon" and "The Yellow Sign", mention The King in Yellow, a
forbidden play which induces despair or madness in those who read
it.
