The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
3.0
I really enjoyed the first couple stories, and even that one nonsensical chapter.
Slight spoilers -
However the whole book ended up feeling like a ruse for me to read the author's unfinished novella about gaudy parisian students. I did enjoy those chapters, as dense as they were, but I didn't like feeling tricked into reading them. I spent the whole time waiting for the other shoe to drop, excited to see where the King in Yellow would come in, but nothing happened.
3 Stars for how enjoyable the first chapters were, but the last part had me fighting to not give it anything less.
