Customer Reviews
December 22, - Published on Amazon. This is for the page Kindle edition with a generic cover. The first few pages were complete gibberish, and then it settled into a pattern of bizarre capitalisation and punctuation, misused words, and random text grabs from other works. Sometimes it seems as if it was translated to a foreign language and poorly translated back.
It should be removed from the kindle store. This is apparently the product of some poor digitisation scam of what is actually a good collection of stories. Chambers ghost should arise and haunt those who use his name to run this scam. Avoid at all costs. Go to Amazon. Discover the best of shopping and entertainment with Amazon Prime.

We have all laid aside disguise but you. No mask! It is also stated, in "The Repairer of Reputations", that the final moment of the first act involves the character of Cassilda on the streets, screaming in a horrified fashion, "Not upon us, oh, king! Not upon us! All of the excerpts come from Act I. The stories describe Act I as quite ordinary, but reading Act II drives the reader mad with the "irresistible" revealed truths. Chambers usually gives only scattered hints of the contents of the full play, as in this extract from " The Repairer of Reputations ":.
He mentioned the establishment of the Dynasty in Carcosa, the lakes which connected Hastur, Aldebaran and the mystery of the Hyades. Then by degrees he led Vance along the ramifications of the Imperial family, to Uoht and Thale, from Naotalba and Phantom of Truth, to Aldones, and then tossing aside his manuscript and notes, he began the wonderful story of the Last King. Night fell and the hours dragged on, but still we murmured to each other of the King and the Pallid Mask, and midnight sounded from the misty spires in the fog-wrapped city.
We spoke of Hastur and of Cassilda, while outside the fog rolled against the blank window-panes as the cloud waves roll and break on the shores of Hali. There is no strong indication that Chambers was influenced beyond liking the names. I read a book by that title once. The first season of HBO's True Detective television series revolves around a string of crimes committed by the elusive "Yellow King" with Carcosa also being mentioned on numerous occasions.
Black stars are also prominent in reference and imagery during the series. The Mask that the Stranger is instructed to remove but turns out not to exist at all in the excerpt from The King in Yellow play in Chambers' short story "The Mask" evokes the scene in Edgar Allan Poe's The Masque of the Red Death where Prince Prospero demands that the stranger dressed as the Red Death should remove his mask and robes, only to find nothing underneath. Given the recognition of that short story, this might be an inspiration or even a tribute from Chambers to Poe.
Lovecraft read The King in Yellow in early [12] and included passing references to various things and places from the book—such as the Lake of Hali and the Yellow Sign — in " The Whisperer in Darkness " , [13] one of his main Cthulhu Mythos stories. Lovecraft borrowed Chambers' method of only vaguely referring to supernatural events, entities, and places, thereby allowing his readers to imagine the horror for themselves.
The play The King in Yellow effectively became another piece of occult literature in the Cthulhu Mythos alongside the Necronomicon and others. In the story, Lovecraft linked the Yellow Sign to Hastur , but from his brief and only mention it is not clear what Lovecraft meant Hastur to be. August Derleth developed Hastur into a Great Old One in his controversial reworking of Lovecraft's universe, elaborating on this connection in his own mythos stories.
In the writings of Derleth and a few other latter-day Cthulhu Mythos authors, the King in Yellow is an Avatar of Hastur, so named because of his appearance as a thin, floating man covered in tattered yellow robes.

In Lovecraft's cycle of horror sonnets, Fungi from Yuggoth , sonnet XXVII "The Elder Pharos" mentions the last Elder One who lives alone talking to chaos via drums: "The Thing, they whisper, wears a silken mask of yellow, whose queer folds appear to hide a face not of this earth In the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game published by Chaosium , the King in Yellow is an avatar of Hastur who uses his eponymous play to spread insanity among humans. He is described as a hunched figure clad in tattered, yellow rags, who wears a smooth and featureless "Pallid Mask". Removing the mask is a sanity-shattering experience; the King's face is described as "inhuman eyes in a suppurating sea of stubby maggot-like mouths; liquescent flesh, tumorous and gelid, floating and reforming".
Although none of the characters in Chambers' book describe the plot of the play, Kevin Ross fabricated a plot for the play within the Call of Cthulhu mythos. The Secret World , a Lovecraft-inspired massively multiplayer online role-playing game , quotes Cassilda's Song and other elements from The King in Yellow during a quest. In Alan Moore's comic series Providence , as well as in his previous story Neonomicon , Moore re-imagines the Lovecraftian mythos while referencing and borrowing heavily from The King in Yellow.
