The weird tales in this slim volume are all linked by a play, the second act of which reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to despair: The King in Yellow. These four macabre, uncanny and unsettling stories are some of the most thrilling ever written in the field of weird fiction, and since their first publication in 1895 have become a cult classic, influencing many writers from the renowned master of cosmic horror H.P Lovecraft to the creators of HBO's True Detective. 650 0 $a Paranormal fiction, American. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Horror fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190913010106.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20180303011054.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=92793D9E1EB011E8BBC9FE1D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
