The King In Yellow - Paperback

by Robert W. Chambers (Author)

The King in Yellow is a classic for good reason. ... The first four stories, "The Repairer of Reputations," "The Mask," "In the Court of the Dragon," and "The Yellow Sign" mention The King in Yellow, a mysterious play with profound psychological effects upon all those who read it, by name. The King in Yellow is a mysterious figure connected to the heretical Chaos-dabbling sect known as the Cognitae. Believed by some to be a figure of mere folk legend, the legend of the King and his inner circle known as The Eight have existed for many centuries.
