With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. 'I read it and reread it, and wept and laughed and trembled with horror which at all times assails me yet'. With its strange, imaginative blend of horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W. Chambers' The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction. This series of vaguely connected stories is linked by the presence of a monstrous and suppressed book which brings fright, madness and spectral tragedy to all those who read it. An air of futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious poison. Dare you read it? This collection has been called the most important book in American supernatural fiction between Poe and the moderns. H. P. Lovecraft, creator of the famed Cthulu mythos, whose own fiction was greatly influenced by this book stated that The King in Yellow 'achieves notable heights of cosmic fear'. Review: Gran edición de un clásico - Existen muchas ediciones de este libro tan apreciado por el mismo H.P.Lovecraft y esta es de la mejores considerando su buena presentación,tamaño de letra y relación de costo con su calidad general. Respeta el texto original,lo que yo más aprecio. Realmente hace innecesario gastar en ediciones de pasta dura caras y ostentosa,a menos que sea lo que busques. Review: gran libro - l'ho preso perchè incuriosito dalle citazioni in true detective. in realtà non c'entra nulla o quasi: sono storie di spettri, di amore romantico ottocentesco narrate con lo spirito del miglior poe per me una bella scoperta

Searching For A Book That Doesn't Exist / Destroying A Book That Doesn't Exist
Amazing book. Lovely read, definitely re-reading it. However as I was reading it, some weirdo kept talking to me about "Whatever you do at the crossroads, Don't turn left." Ill have you know sir, I will turn which ever way I wish. R.I.P d3rlord3

Great concept; one masterpiece, some goodies, some boring
The Repairer of Reputations is a freaking masterpiece. Some other stories are great too - mostly because of the intense atmosphere. Gets sloppy and repetitive towards the end. Worth buying for Repairer alone. That story is a sick, twisted gem if there was one.
