ABOUT THE KING IN YELLOW, DELUXE EDITION

A beautiful gift edition of the supernatural horror cult classic that inspired H.P. Lovecraft and the HBO hit series True Detective

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.

“This is the thing that troubles me, for I cannot forget Carcosa

where black stars hang in the heavens;

where the shadows of men’s thoughts lengthen in the afternoon,

when the twin suns sink into the lake of Hali;

and my mind will bear for ever the memory of the Pallid Mask.

I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation,

terrible in its simplicity,

irresistible in its truth—

a world which now trembles

before the King in Yellow.”
