The King in Yellow, Deluxe Edition by Robert W. Chambers
2.0
dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think the hype and near mystic mythology surrounding the book are more interesting than the actual stories. They were creepy, sure, in a way. But not terrifying. Nothing like what loads of folks say it’s like.
