I have an unhealthy obsession with The King In Yellow. The idea that a written work has the power to drive those who read it mad is terrifying. Robert W Chambers work is significant because now, thanks in part to HP Lovecraft, we see iterations of The King In Yellow everywhere. The madness is pervasive, like a force of nature moving slowly across the landscape of our collective consciousness.

Robert W. Chambers was once a very popular author, but today he's mainly remembered for one of his many books, The King in Yellow, which is a collection of linked stories about a book of the same name that drives its readers mad. (This nice edition is part of "Neely's Prismatic Library" from 1895.)

With some people in the US now eager to ban books sight-unseen, I wonder if they fear similar consequences.

β€œI pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truthβ€”a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow.”

Ever been to a dim place where black stars rise in a sky overlooking the lake of Hali? If you never came back β€” and you never will, trust me β€” here's a postcard available at the local gift shop upon which you could write a final missive.
