Chambers' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright, madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious poison. Dare you read it? This collection has been called the most important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that The King in Yellow 'achieves notable heights of cosmic fear'. 651 0 $a United States $x Social life and customs $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Paranormal fiction, American. 655 7 $a Horror fiction. $2 gsafd. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Horror fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Ghost stories. $2 lcgft. 700 1 $a Davies, David Stuart, $d 1946- 830 0 $a Tales of mystery & the supernatural. 941 $a 1 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20190913010055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C61C9C92D5EB11E9AC9383FD96128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
