More about the book

Exploring themes of despair and madness, this collection features ten interconnected stories linked by the mysterious play, The King in Yellow. Characters, often artists or decadents, encounter the supernatural and the sinister symbol known as the Yellow Sign, leading to their psychological unraveling. The first four stories embody Victorian-gothic horror, while the latter tales shift to a romantic fiction style, maintaining connections through Parisian settings and artistic themes. This work is a hallmark of its genre, blending horror with elements of decadence and artistry.
