Description
Robert W. Chambers wrote this seminal work of Weird horror in 1895, creating a horrifying prediction of the 1920s and a mythology that introduced the world to the King in Yellow, an entity heralded by a book of the same name that drives its readers insane. H. P. Lovecraft, the author of "At The Mountains of Madness" and "The Colour Out of Space", lauded the work saying that it "achieves notable heights of cosmic fear," and it has inspired or been referenced in numerous films and shows, including the first season of HBO's True Detective. This new slim and distinguished volume with a black leatherette cover and gold foil embellishments is a limited edition of 150 hand-numbered copies. It contains the four stories that make up the Carcosa Mythos, "The Repairer of Reputations," "The Mask," "In The Court of The Dragon," and "The Yellow Sign," featuring new cover and interior art in the Art Nouveau style of the time, interpreting the Yellow Sign and the King in Yellow. It also contains a new essay on the haunting and enduring power of the stories by Brian Callahan, co-director of the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival®.
