Ten poetic and frankly frightening stories, strung together on the theme of the mysterious play "The King in Yellow", which inevitably changes the fate of everyone who reads it, and the equally mysterious, fatal "Yellow Sign". A book admired by Lovecraft, who considered it one of the most striking examples of the "horror and supernatural" of American prose. A book that had a tremendous impact on later American Gothic literature, including Lovecraft himself, who repeatedly used Chambers' motifs in his works.
