andrueb 's review for:

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
3.0

If you're reading this for the horror vibe that influenced Lovecraft and season 1 of True Detective, the first story is best. This stops being a horror collection, inexplicably, about halfway through. I checked to make sure I hadn't flipped to some other kindle book by mistake. There are some really cool ideas when Chambers sticks to horror.
