The King in Yellow is a collection of ten short stories, four them tales of supernatural horror that are connected by the theme of a fictitious drama of the same title. The play within the stories drives those who read it to illness and possible insanity and leaves them in a dazed state, speaking about unexplained mythological terms. The first season of True Detective frequently alluded to The King in Yellow, spurring renewed interest in this touchstone paragon of the genre. This Warbler Classics edition includes an excerpt from H. P. Lovecraft’s critical study Supernatural Horror in Literature in which he comments on this enduring work of imagination, as well as a detailed biographical note.
