The King in Yellow, Deluxe Edition by Robert W. Chambers
dark
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
A truely wonderful piece of weird fiction, through this series of short stories we come to know both so much and also not a lot of the King in yellow, to know of him is to be under his influence or perhaps it is just the madness of the narrators and nothing more?
It is so clear why these stories influenced and inspired so many creatives since! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of cosmic horror or weird fiction, though I wouldn't consider this book horror, it is certainly a little spooky and unnerving in its nature.
