Review

Praise for Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow:

''Every story of The King in Yellow has something riveting about it . . . so perfectly realized, they became the model for much of twentieth-century horror/fantasy.'' --New York Press

''There can be no doubt that the book is a classic of the fantasy/supernatural genre . . . In essence, the book is a collection of short stories written in an elegant, witty, and often disturbing style . . . Chambers' remarkable book which you hold in your hands remains as powerful as it did when first published.'' --David Stuart Davies, award-winning playwright, author, and editor, on The King in Yellow
