The King in Yellow and Other Horror Stories is a milestone in American supernatural fiction, creating a sensation since its initial publication in 1895. This collection includes twelve gripping tales that delve into the horror of the nameless and the unimaginable.

Robert W. Chambers, hailed as the historic link between Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, demonstrates his remarkable imaginative powers throughout these stories. This edition, edited by noted authority on supernatural fiction, E. F. Bleiler, includes an informative introduction that provides context to Chambers' work.

The collection features haunting stories such as the grisly "Yellow Sign," the disquieting "Repairer of Reputations," and the tender "Demoiselle d'Ys." Additionally, it includes thrilling tales like "Maker of Moons" and "The Messenger."

An unusual delight awaits those familiar with Chambers only through his horror stories: three of his finest early biological science-fiction fantasies from In Search of the Unknown are also featured here.
