Reader, have you ever wondered who struck fear into the heart of H. P. Lovecraft? It was Robert Chambers. Now, the terror visits you.

A wicked link in a terrifying lineage, the tales contained in The King in Yellow have inspired generations of American horror writers. Look toward unspeakable Hastur and tell yourself these are only tales. Behold the Yellow Sign and convince yourself that, after all--it's only a book.

Welcome, dear reader, to Carcosa.

Edited with notes and an introduction by John Edgar Browning.

Praise for this book

"For me [The King in Yellow] demonstrates how an uncanny enigma can be more satisfying and more lasting than an explanation that neatly knots the supernatural. No wonder Lovecraft admired it." --Ramsey Campbell

"The King in Yellow is a book of nightmarish intensity of a sort that one rarely finds in any other writing of its period, and perhaps anywhere in all literature." --S. T. Joshi
