New! The elusive, mysterious play 'The King in Yellow,' weaves through several of the stories in this collection, which blends a variety of genres showcasing Chambers' vast literary talent. Highly acclaimed at the time of publication in 1895, and for many years afterward, THE KING IN YELLOW became a touchstone and inspiration of many generations of writers, including H. P. Lovecraft, Stehpen King, Karl Edward Wagner, Robert heinlein, and many others. It was Chambers' ability to integrate dread suspense, while alluding to supernatural events, that became influential in defining the tone of 20th Century horror and fantasy, and helped define a literary movement often referred to as Weird Fiction.
