The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
3.75

The first four short stories, the ones that actually reference the eponymous in-universe play, are awesome. Their influence on Lovecraft and his particular brand of cosmic horror is clear. The rest of the stories are... really French? All supernatural elements get dropped for the last five short stories and they're all just bohemian love stories, which are good enough, but really not what I was expecting after the first four.
