I’ll get to that later though, for now I’ll just explain the others:ĥ. So this is a collection of 10 short stories, only the first 4 of which really refer to the Yellow King. If you haven’t read it and you’re wondering why it sounds familiar, it might be because elements of it were borrowed for the first season of True Detective. Some of the tales in this book managed to induce a lingering discomfort (I read most of them just before going to bed and afterwards lay awake, thinking of the sinister King, sitting on his throne in his tattered yellow rags.), and overall, this book is pretty neat. (I do own a copy of the Complete Weird Tales of Chambers, but I haven’t got around to it yet.) The King in Yellow was one of Chamber’s earliest works, and it remains his best known he spent most of the rest of his career writing popular romance novels, but nobody remembers them. Usually I wait until I’ve read everything (or at least all of the good stuff) by an author of short fiction, but this is a little different. This is the first time that I’ve reviewed a single book of short stories. Wordsworth Editions – 2010 (Originally published in 1895)
