"...for I knew that the King in Yellow had opened his tattered mantle and there was only God to cry to now."
Robert W. Chambers's classic collection of short stories was first published in 1895. The first four stories ("The Repairer of Reputations", "The Mask", "In the Court of the Dragon", and "The Yellow Sign") mention The King in Yellow, a forbidden play which induces despair or madness in those who read it. A noted example of the "weird" story genre, The King in Yellow was highly influential on many writers including H.P. Lovecraft who later included it in his stories that formed the Cthulhu mythos.
