Book Synopsis The King in Yellow by : Robert W. Chambers

Download or read book The King in Yellow written by Robert W. Chambers and published by Standard Ebooks. This book was released on 2017-01-19T01:04:23Z with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The King in Yellow is a fascinating, almost two-faced work. The first half consists of five legendary weird tales, loosely tied together by a fictional play—the eponymous King in Yellow—that drives those who read it mad. Celebrated by authors like H. P. Lovecraft and Lin Carter, these stories are classic tales of madness, despair, and strange happenings. With the fifth tale the reader finds a sort of palate-cleansing collection of short prose-poems leading into the last four stories, which take a sharp turn away from the weird and into the romantic. The concluding tales are set in the Parisian art world. In modern times The King in Yellow enjoys a reputation largely due to the strength of its first half of macabre tales, but by no means does that make the second half less enjoyable. Both halves are written in a quick, light prose style that demonstrates why Chambers was a best-seller in his day. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
