broccoli_aesthetics 's review for:

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
3.5
mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

The first 4 or 5 stories are good and you can clearly see the impact they could have had on Lovecraft's works. The others are just plain romance, boring and I'm unsure why they were included in this book.

The court of the dragon and the repairer of reputation are amazing.
