| Summary |
A book of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers, first published in 1895. The book is named after a "forbidden" play with the same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories: The King in Yellow, which induces despair or madness in those who read it. The first half of the book features highly esteemed weird stories, and the book has been described by critics as a classic in the field of the supernatural. |
