The King in Yellow

'Legendary... A seminal horror work' LA Review of Books 'A classic... A fantastic collection' Guardian I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon... The weird tales in this book are all linked by a play, the second act of which reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to despair: The King in Yellow. These four macabre, uncanny and unsettling stories are some of the most thrilling ever written in the field of weird fiction and since their first publication have become a cult classic, inspiring works ranging from Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos to True Detective.Author: Chambers, Robert W.,author
