Publisher's Synopsis
In this collection of dreamlike short stories, set in Paris and New York, Robert W. Chambers weaves a tapestry of horror, science fiction, and romance, entwined with the menacing thread of The King in Yellow, a play so terrifying and disturbing that to experience it instantly engulfs one in madness and despair. The ruthless heir to a lost kingdom; a sculptor with a horrifying secret; stalking demons; decadent art students; doomed lovers - the shadow of The King in Yellow looms over them all.
