A review by joshparr
The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers

3.0

This reads surprisingly modern for a book written in the late 1800s. The stories do decline in quality throughout, and there is a sharp drop-off once they veer away from cosmic horror and into lukewarm tales of love in the Parisian Latin Quarter. The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask and The Demoiselle d'Ys stood, to me, head and shoulders above the rest.
