The King in Yellow

One of the leading examples of Victorian-gothic horror, The King in Yellow is a collection of ten interrelated stories that explore the despair and madness that affect characters that come into contact with the forbidden play, The King in Yellow.

Since its publication in 1895, The King in Yellow has inspired other horror-genre writers including H.P. Lovecraft, and the text is referenced by many works of fiction, in music, and by the hit television series True Detective, starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.
