Kurzbeschreibung
I read it and reread it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all times assails me yet'. With its strange, imaginative blend of horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W. 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? This 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'.

I'm a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft fiction. The King in Yellow was interesting for me as it is well known that the great Master took some inspiration out of Chambers work.
Not all stories are the same quality but most are very good and some of them are really small masterpieces.
The Yellow sign or the King in Yellow itself appear in nearly every story, and those who don't contain this subjects are linked to the others that do by small, casual connections.
People reading Poe, Lovecraft and similar authors should like this small book very much.

Excellent collection...

This collection of stories by Robert Chambers is an excellent companion to anyone who enjoys the Cthulhu Mythos and wants to delve into some of the inspiration for Lovecraft's fiction. Reading these stories was very much like stepping through a doorway into another dimension. The characters were well written and the plot was filled with madness and lurking horror. I would highly recommend this book to anyone.
