Summary

"Every story ofThe King in Yellowhas something riveting about it...so perfectly realized, they became the model for much of 20th-century horror/fantasy."--New York PressOne of the most important works of American supernatural fiction since those of Poe,The King in Yellowwas among the first attempts to establish the horror of the nameless and the unimaginable. A treasured source used by H. P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, R. E. Howard, and many others, it endures as a work of remarkable power and one of the most chillingly original books in the genre. This collection reprints all the supernatural stories from The King inYellow--"Yellow Sign," "Repairer of Reputations," "Demoiselle d'Ys," and others--plus some of Chambers' finest stories from other sources, including three early biological science-fiction fantasies fromIn Search of the Unknown. Introduction by E. F. Bleiler.
