About this listen

 The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers is a collection of short stories that revolve around a mysterious play, said to drive readers mad with cosmic horror. Published in 1895, it introduces Carcosa, a haunting realm that influenced H.P. Lovecraft and shaped the weird fiction genre. Chambers merges supernatural dread with psychological suspense, following characters ensnared by the play’s corrupting power. Eerie settings, unsettling themes, and cryptic hints of forbidden knowledge create a timeless, spine-chilling narrative that resonates with fans of gothic horror and deep existential dread.
