Synopsis"Every story ofThe King in Yellowhas something riveting about it...so perfectly realized, they became the model for much of 20th-century horror/fantasy."--New York PressOne of the most important works of American supernatural fiction since those of Poe,The King in Yellowwas among the first attempts to establish the horror of the nameless and the unimaginable. A treasured source used by H. P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, R. E. Howard, and many others, it endures as a work of remarkable power and one of the most chillingly original books in the genre. This collection reprints all the supernatural stories from The King inYellow--"Yellow Sign," "Repairer of Reputations," "Demoiselle d'Ys," and others--plus some of Chambers' finest stories from other sources, including three early biological science-fiction fantasies fromIn Search of the Unknown. Introduction by E. F. Bleiler., A milestone of American supernatural fiction from the author who has been hailed as the link between Poe and Stephen King. 12 gripping stories, with an introduction by E. F. Bleiler., A treasured source for Lovecraft, Howard, and others, this collection endures as a work of remarkable power. Includes all the stories from The King in Yellow -- "Yellow Sign," "Repairer of Reputations," "Demoiselle d'Ys," and others -- plus stories from other sources, including three early sci-fi fantasies from In Search of the Unknown. 12 total., "Every story of The King in Yellow has something riveting about it ... so perfectly realized, they became the model for much of twentieth-century horror/fantasy." -- New York Press One of the most important works of American supernatural fiction since those of Poe, The King in Yellow was among the first attempts to establish the horror of the nameless and the unimaginable. A treasured source used by almost all the significant writers in the American pulp tradition -- H. P. Lovecraft, A. Merritt, Robert E. Howard, and many others -- it endures as a work of remarkable power and one of the most chillingly original books in the genre. This collection reprints all the supernatural stories from The King in Yellow , including the grisly "Yellow Sign," the disquieting "Repairer of Reputations," the tender "Demoiselle d'Ys," and others. Robert W. Chambers' finest stories from other sources have also been added, such as the thrilling "Maker of Moons" and "The Messenger." In addition, an unusual pleasure awaits those who know Chambers only by his horror stories: three of his finest early biological science-fiction fantasies from In Search of the Unknown appear here as well.
