A collection of short stories that all seem to have different topics and characters but that seem to revolve around one concept, a mysterious play, The King in Yellow. Like the Cthulhu Mythos, that Chambers is considered to be part of, the stories herein are all connected by a central motif, not only of the play itself but on the human condition and in the inevitable coming of dark powers from beyond.

This was really the seminal example of what came to be known as supernatural thrillers or esoteric fiction. But its elegant style and understated weirdness has never been done better. Lovecraft is the lovechild of Chambers. Who or what is the King in Yellow will only be answered when he is unmasked by future refugees from the reality studio.
Highly recommended.
