The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers

4.0

dark mysterious slow-paced

---

I have such mixed feelings about these stories. The King in Yellow consists of 10 short stories and 4 of them established The King in Yellow lore we are likely familiar with through H.P. Lovecraft. I originally intended to read all 10, but quickly changed my mind after starting this book and struggling to pay attention. They were well written, but I had to keep rereading parts after zoning-out over and over again. I ended up switching to an audiobook, but still continued to struggle to pay attention. I’m glad I visited them, but probably need to reread them some other time.
