THE KING IN YELLOW by Robert W. Chambers
Back in print after too many years, this edition of THE KING IN YELLOW is a faithful reprinting of the original, unedited edition. Here are all the stories as they originally appeared. This collection is an important milestone in the history of weird literature providing not only the theme of the mysterious, lethal book but also being an important influence on H. P. Lovecraft. Robert W. Chambers would go on to become a successful romance novelist but it is for THE KING IN YELLOW that he is primarily remembered. The first stories in the collection revolve around the infamous play, "The King in Yellow", and the horror fate that befalls any foolish enough to read it. For sheer imaginative power, the first story, "The Repairer of Reputations", is hard to beat. Upon it's first publication, THE KING IN YELLOW created a sensation as nothing like it had been seen before. $4.95
