Chambers' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright, madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious poison. Dare you read it?\nThis collection has been called the most important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that 'The King in Yellow achieves notable heights of cosmic fear'.\nContents:\nThe King in Yellow\nThe Repairer of Reputations\nThe Mask\nIn the Court of the Dragon\nThe Yellow Sign\nThe Demoiselle d’Ys\nThe Prophet’s Paradise\nThe Street of the Four Winds\nThe Street of the First Shell\nThe Street of Our Lady of the Fields\nRue Barrée","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51876140876064,"sku":"9781840226447","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781840226447.jpg?v=1785179983","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/king-in-yellow-robert-w-chambers-9781840226447","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
