branthebard 's review for:

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers

3.25

dark mysterious tense slow-paced

I was familiar with Chamber’s work largely thanks to the influences he had on Lovecraft and other weird fiction, and because of that, I think I had different expectations for what these stories would be going into it. The first four stories scratch that weird fiction itch though in a much more reserved sort of way.
