The stories are loosely connected by their common reference to a fictional play titled The King in Yellow, which is said to drive its readers insane. The first four stories are set in New York City and feature artists and writers who are affected by the play's influence. The remaining stories take place in Paris and deal with themes of decadence, death, and the supernatural. The book is considered a landmark work of early horror and weird fiction, and has influenced writers such as H.P. Lovecraft and Neil Gaiman.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
