The King in Yellow (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural)

Book came in great conditions !

Excellent. I particularly like the first story. Some of the later ones are more romantic and less supernatural (and lengthy).

A classic of "weird fiction" that everyone interested in that genre should read.

While all the stories in the book were well written technically, and the author was brilliant in his creation of atmosphere. Some of the stories were off the subject, and the King In Yellow wasn't even mentioned. One story was essentially French Anti-German Propaganda, spawned by the French Defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. A war caused by French interference in Germany's internal affairs. Not Prussian Aggression!Over all, though I found flaws in the book, it was a most fascinating read. Some of the stories were truly awesome!

Great for an borderline entry into the horror like Lovecraft

Heard that true detective season one was based on this book so I had to check it out

The last couple stories in this are out of place but honestly, the first 3/4 of this book is phenomenal and completely makes up for it. I got into Lovecraft before checking out other authors in the genre and several of the stories from this collection hit the same notes.

It was okay. I expected more horror.
