mimbomombo 's review for:
The King in Yellow
by Robert W. Chambers
DID NOT FINISH
Read the first 3 stories, but all a bit mid. The whole going mad thing gets old and always makes me think I'm missing something important because of unreliable narrators, but the fact is it's probably just not for me. "The Mask", the second story had me fairly hooked but kinda petered out at the end.
The first story was literally described on Wikipedia as an "anti-story". Don't think I'm a fan of those. The second two were more palatable. The writing does remind me of Lovecraft a lot and his "weird fiction".
Anyway, I'm happy I read something and I'm excited to move on to the next thing. Also happy this was on Google Books and I didn't have to waste any time or money getting it.
