Story4.5 out of 5 stars 129
Seabury Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of the pulp magazine Weird Tales' original publication run. His most famous character, the supernatural French detective Dr. Jules de Grandin, investigated cases involving monsters, devil worshippers, serial killers, and spirits from beyond the grave, often set in the small town of Harrisonville, New Jersey.

A really fun collection of spooky stories

I absolutely adore this character and his weird adventures, though terribly corny and not particularly well written it's fun and that's what counts. Seabury Quinn had his finger on the pulse of how to make a story appealing while sprinkling in some truly appalling descriptions and upsetting revelations. If you need a paranormal adventure that bends your mind and challenges your perception of the workings of the world, this is probably skippable content. That said if you want a dose of fun, gory, pulp-horror adventure with an awkward hint of romance, it's a must-have.

A unique and weird collection of fantasy

You could definitely call it thick and probably a little boring. However, it's a worthwhile journey for anyone looking to experience a more experimental style of writing. It has a lot of charm, and it lays a bunch of groundwork for further explorations of the world told herein.

This collection by Robert W. Chambers was first published in 1895 and features stories loosely tied together with one theme, the supernatural. Many of the stories in The King in Yellow were not received well by the critics of the time due to their supernatural undertones. Some of the stories mention a play by the same name that had been outlawed in some regions of the world. It was thought that the play could induce madness in those who viewed it. Two of the stories in this book take place in a fictional world of the future 1920s and are macabre in tone.

dramatic tone shift half way through :/ it goes from decent and well written weird fiction to decent and well written turn of the century romances, which isn't what was advertised.
