Description

A masterful adaptation of one of the most important works of American supernatural “weird” fiction

The King in Yellow: a play that brings madness to all who read it. Irresistible and insidious, it lures the reader with its innocence and dooms them with its corruption. In a series of interlinked stories, Robert W. Chambers’s classic work of weird fiction shows the creeping spread of the play’s macabre touch. I.N.J. Culbard’s deft and unsettling adaptation, newly reissued, breathes life into Chambers’s influential masterpiece, expertly revealing the malice and mayhem that await those unlucky enough to turn the wrong page.
