Reader, have you ever wondered who struck fear into the heart of H. P. Lovecraft? Itwas Robert Chambers. Now, the terror visits you.

A wicked link in a terrifying lineage, the tales contained inThe King in Yellowhaveinspired generations of American horror writers. Look toward unspeakable Hastur andtell yourself these are only tales. Behold the Yellow Sign and convince yourself that,after all—it’s only a book.

Welcome, dear reader, to Carcosa.
