A beautiful gift edition of the cult classic work of weird fiction and supernatural horror, which inspired H.P. Lovecraft and the first season of HBO’s True Detective

The weird tales in this slim volume are all linked by a play, the second act of which reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to despair: The King in Yellow.

I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men’s thoughts lengthen in the afternoon . . . I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth–a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow.

These four macabre, uncanny, and unsettling stories are some of the most thrilling ever written in the field of weird fiction. Since their first publication in 1895, they have become a cult classic, influencing the renowned master of cosmic horror, H.P Lovecraft, to the creators of HBO’s True Detective.
