The King in Yellow

About

A cycle of interlinked stories orbiting a forbidden play, The King in Yellow, said to shatter the sanity of anyone who reads its second act. Chambers moves from a dystopian near-future New York to the studios of American painters in Paris, letting names like Carcosa, Hastur, and the Lake of Hali seep through the pages like a slow contamination. Even the tales that read as tender romance are haunted by an unnameable dread beneath their surface. A foundational work of weird fiction whose shadow falls across Lovecraft and every cosmic horror that followed.
