'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 ## Features - Wordsworth editions - Wordsworth Editions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #12,908 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #172 in Ghost Thrillers #11,494 in Literature & Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 983 Reviews | ## Images ![Wordsworth Editions The King in Yellow - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81CTmiYD3cL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gran edición de un clásico *by J***A on 11 June 2025* 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.

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.
