Song of my soul, my voice is dead;// Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed// Shall dry and die in// Lost Carcosa.// With this song, taken from the fictitious drama of "The King in Yellow", the collection of early horror stories by the same title opens. The first four stories are connected by the theme of this fictitious drama which drives those wo read it insane as well as by a mysterious and malevolent supernatural also entity known as "The King in Yellow". The other stories in the book do not follow the macabre theme of the first four, and most are written in the romantic fiction style which characterise Chanbers' later work.

There was a red-headed slattern sweeping the veranda - nobody else visible about the house. All the shutters of the stone and timber chalet were closed; cow-barn, stable, springhouse and bottling house appeared to be deserted. Weeds smothered the garden where a fountain played above a brimming basin of gray stone; cat-grass grew rank on the oval lawn around the white-washed flag-pole from which no banner flapped. An intense and heated silence possessed the place. Tall mountains circled it, cloud-high, enormous, gathered around the little valley as though met in solemn council there under the vast pavilion of sky...

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 new annotated edition includes several never-before-seen features, like:•The original editor’s preface that accompanied the original printing.•Easily navigable Table of Contents.

*This Book is annotated (it contains a detailed biography of the author). *An active Table of Contents has been added by the publisher for a better customer experience. *This book has been checked and corrected for spelling errors.Set in the times when men were 'gentlemen' and women were 'delicate flowers' to be taken care of, the romance takes place against a backdrop of bloody conflict between the Amercian calvary and the British (with both sides making use of tribes of Native American Indians). The heroine of the story is different in that she is independent and refuses to be 'taken care of' but instead pursues her own goals despite ongoing opposition.

Could there be a book, or a film, or a piece of music that vibrates against the cortex in a certain way, or opens great gulfs of revelation so profound and so shattering that you could never be exposed to it without being changed forever?” Jean-marcel“An obscure 120-year-old book has risen to the top of Amazon’s charts this week thanks to references in US crime series True Detective. “ Daily Telegraph“Although considered something of a classic by genre fans, The King in Yellow by Robert W Chambers is hardly a household name – or at least it wasn't until the dark crime series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson, which premiered in the UK on Sky Atlantic on Saturday, began to drop subtle hints about the book's involvement in the TV narrative.” The Guardian“A classic of weird horror, The King in Yellow is a collection of short stories. Well, the first four stories are weird horror classics. Related only by the existence and influence of the play The King in Yellow, the second act of which will inevitably drive mad any who read it, they're a nicely atmospheric set.” SesanaTHE KING IN YELLOW is one of the weirdest and most wonderful story collections of all time.

Presented in a beautiful edition specially designed for kindle, this is William Chambers’ classic which will stay with you forever

Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) was an American writer and illustrator. His mystery short story "The Purple Emperor" was first published in 1897 and has been described as a scientific detective story (because science plays a role in the detective work that eventually solves the case). The action in the story takes place in Brittany, France and centers on an American who is visiting the country as a tourist.
