Have you seen the Yellow Sign?
There is a play that no one can read twice. Its first act is harmless. Everyone who reads into the second act is ruined: driven mad, damned, or changed forever. It is called The King in Yellow, and the genius of Robert W. Chambers' 1895 masterpiece is that he never lets you read it. You only meet the wreckage it leaves behind.
First published in 1895, The King in Yellow is one of the most influential works of weird fiction ever written. Its cursed play, its lost city of Carcosa, and its dread symbol the Yellow Sign haunted H. P. Lovecraft, seeded the Cthulhu Mythos, and returned to shock a new generation through HBO's True Detective. This is the source, complete, unabridged, and newly brought to life.
This Annotated & Illustrated Edition includes:
From the disorienting future-New York of "The Repairer of Reputations" to the pure terror of "The Yellow Sign," this is weird fiction's founding nightmare, presented as it deserves.
The scolloped tatters of the King in Yellow are waiting.
