Author: Robert W. Chambers
Date: 1895-00-00
Type: COLLECTION
Webpages: Wikipedia-EN
Language: English
Note: 10 stories ISFDB fiction series King in Yellow (Chambers) comprises only 4 of the 10 stories. As of 2020-04-27 some ISFDB records of publications after the 1960s omit some of the other 6 stories as non-genre. For known publications of the fiction series alone see 4-story collection The King in Yellow. Some publications listed below may contain only the four King in Yellow stories, or otherwise contain fewer than 10 of the originally collected stories. "[RWC]'s first successful work was The King in Yellow (coll 1895; cut 1902; with different cuts vt The Mask, and Other Stories 1929). The eponymous King in Yellow is the title character of a printed verse play, a book which functions as a mise en abîme or Basilisk that drives its readers to despair, madness and even suicide (see Psychology)." (underscore represents linked cross-reference) --SFE3 , entry by John Clute and Lee Weinstein "Nothing RWC wrote thereafter came close to equalling The King in Yellow in either mystery or power." --SFE: Encyclopedia of Fantasy (1997), entry by Mike Ashley
