The King in Yellow TP (Deluxe Edition)(NOVEL. Not a comic!)

Product Description

Uncanny, macabre, and unsettling, the 4 tales contained in this beautiful new edition of Robert W. Chambers’s supernatural classic are arguably the greatest ever written in the weird fiction genre.
They are linked together by a play, The King in Yellow, whose second act reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to bitter despair. Across each story, the book spreads like an infectious disease, from city to city, from continent to continent. Its wicked pages violate no definite principles, or doctrine. It cannot be judged by any known standard. Yet, although all acknowledge The King in Yellow as a supreme achievement of art, all feel that human nature cannot bear the strain, nor thrive, on words which in which the essence of purest poison lurks.
Influencing generations of writers since their first publication in 1895, from the renowned master of cosmic horror H.P Lovecraft to the creators of HBO's True Detective, these stories are a rediscovered classic of weird fiction and supernatural horror.

***Novel. Not a comic.
