The King in Yellow

Have you found the Yellow Sign?

It is whispered in the decadent cafés of Paris and in the drawing rooms of a strange, uneasy New York. They speak of a play—an infamous text, bound in sickly yellow, that draws in artists, dreamers, and lost souls.

Its title is The King in Yellow.

Those who read the first act are entranced, mesmerised by its strange beauty. Those who dare to read the second are marked forever. The play does not contain mere words, but a poison for the mind—a cosmic truth so terrible that it shatters sanity and tears the thin veil of reality.

In this legendary collection of stories, Robert W. Chambers conjures a world of beauty and madness, where the Pallid Mask glimmers in the dark and the lost city of Carcosa—where the black stars rise—haunts the edges of reason.
