The King in Yellow (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition) -- Robert W. Chambers

<em>The King in Yellow</em> is a collection of ten short stories, four them tales of supernatural horror that are connected by the theme of a fictitious drama of the same title. The play within the stories drives those who read it to illness and possible insanity and leaves them in a dazed state, speaking about unexplained mythological terms. The first season of <em>True Detective</em> frequently alluded to <em>The King in Yellow</em>, spurring renewed interest in this touchstone paragon of the genre. </p><br></p><p>This Warbler Classics edition includes an excerpt from H. P. Lovecraft's critical study <em>Supernatural Horror in Literature</em> in which he comments on this enduring work of imagination, as well as a detailed biographical note.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Robert W.
