The King in Yellow, by Robert W. Chambers
Categorized in: 52 Books/52 Weeks
A fascinating book, since it gives lie to the notion that Lovecraft emerged sui generis. You’ll find cursed books, arcane knowledge, strange animals, oddball academics, and much more here. Only a couple of these stories are good, but the title tale is excellent. A key document for the history of American horror.
