The King in Yellow by American writer Robert W. Chambers is a premier collection of horror fiction consisting of 10 short stories with similar styles or concepts shaped by early mythology.
The King in Yellow has inspired horror writers for over a century. This seminal work, intertwines the macabre with the mundane, leading readers through a world where the fantastical becomes terrifyingly real. The first four stories feature a “yellow” theme tied to the play, a specific symbol or supernatural force. “The Repairer of Reputations," "The Mask," "In the Court of the Dragon" and "The Yellow Sign" have a strong connection due to a shared motif and macabre tone. The book’s other entries subvert expectations by shifting focus to less mythical topics like war and romance. Each setting varies with action occurring in either America or Europe.
Robert W. Chambers' work is considered a supernatural classic that influenced the later works of renowned horrorcore writer H.P. Lovecraft.
