There are books that haunt. The King in Yellow is one of them. First published in 1895, this cycle of four interlinked stories-The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign-offers a view into a world just a shade off from our own. Beneath the surface of elegant prose and civil order lies something broken, something touched by madness, art, power-and something unspeakably strange. A book within the book, a play that should never be read, threads through each tale, leaving behind not answers, but echoes. With quiet menace and disquieting beauty, Chambers sketches a fictional universe that lingers like a fevered dream. Not quite horror, not quite science fiction, not quite fantasy-The King in Yellow is a singular work. A whisper from the shadows. An invitation to look too long at the thing you cannot name.  Contents ? The Repairer of Reputations ? The Mask ? In the Court of the Dragon ? The Yellow Sign
