gtomos 's review for:
The King in Yellow
by Robert W. Chambers
The first two in particular were excellent. The final two felt a little redundant, though still very entertaining. Thwarted love always makes for a great accompaniment to creeping horror. And sociologically it's interesting to think about how conspiracies etc. weaving their way into fiction like this is maybe a reflection of entry into mass society (like in the Dr. Mabuse films but also Kafka in a more bureaucratic way).
Maybe the most unexpected element was the strange bit of world building in the first story ('The Repairer of Reputations') about the state building suicide chambers - a very weird and interesting touch which barely features in the plot.
