A DELUXE ILLUSTRATED EDITION OF THE COMPLETE 1895 COLLECTIONEnter the strange, decadent world of Robert W. Chambers’s The King in Yellow—a landmark of weird fiction, supernatural horror, psychological terror, and the literature of cosmic dread.At the center of Chambers’s most haunting tales lies a forbidden play: The King in Yellow. Those who encounter it are drawn toward obsession, madness, fractured reality, and the distant mystery of Carcosa, where the Yellow Sign, the Pallid Mask, and the shadow of the King wait beyond the limits of reason.This deluxe illustrated edition presents the complete 1895 collection together with 45 original illustrations created specifically for this volume.THE COMPLETE COLLECTION The Repairer of Reputations The Mask In the Court of the Dragon The Yellow Sign The Demoiselle d’Ys The Prophets’ Paradise The Street of the Four Winds The Street of the First Shell The Street of Our Lady of the Fields Rue Barrée 45 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONSCreated to deepen the atmosphere of Chambers’s fiction rather than merely decorate the page, the artwork gives visual form to the collection’s most memorable moments—from ominous New York interiors and fin-de-siècle Paris to the vanished world of Ys and the impossible horizons of Carcosa.A FOUNDATIONAL WORK OF WEIRD FICTIONFirst published in 1895, The King in Yellow helped shape the language of modern weird and supernatural fiction. Its imagery, forbidden-book mythology, and vision of Carcosa left a lasting mark on later writers. H. P. Lovecraft openly admired Chambers and carried names and ideas from The King in Yellow into his own mythos. Chambers’s influence has continued through generations of fantastic literature, including writers such as Stephen King and George R. R. Martin.Its mixture of supernatural menace, doomed romance, decadent beauty, psychological instability, and cosmic unease still feels strikingly modern more than a century after its first appearance.For readers of classic horror, Gothic literature, supernatural fiction, cosmic horror, weird fiction, and illustrated literary classics—and for collectors seeking a distinctive presentation of Robert W. Chambers’s most enduring work.Complete. Illustrated. Haunting.A richly visual edition of The King in Yellow for a new generation of readers—and for those who have already heard the call of Carcosa.
