The king in yellow. E-book. Formato Mobipocket. With its strange, imaginative blend of horror, science fiction, romance and lyrical prose, Robert W. Chambers&#39; The King in Yellow is a classic masterpiece of weird fiction.

An air of futility and doom pervade these pages like a sweet insidious poison. 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 &laquo;achieves notable heights of cosmic fear&raquo;. This book has also deeply inspired Nic Pizzolatto while writing the worldwide known tv series True detective.<br />Full edition with an interactive table of contents.
