'I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon...I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth - a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow. The weird tales in this slim volume 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.'
A collection of Robert W Chambers' short stories, spanning several genres. Best remembered for the weird fantasy tales linked by the titular play. The collection was an influence on HP Lovecraft and the makers of the TV series True Detective. Contains 'The Repairer of Reputations', 'The Mask', 'In the Court of the Dragon', 'The Yellow Sign', 'Rue Vallee', and several others.
