The King In Yellow / The Mystery Of Choice by Robert W. Chambers

This omnibus pairs a cycle of fin-de-siècle weird tales about a forbidden play whose pages unravel sanity and reality with a companion set of atmospheric mysteries set largely on windswept coasts. The first section follows artists and aristocrats as a malign text threads through their lives, while the second dwells on eerie encounters, romantic entanglements, and fateful decisions. Together they blend cosmic unease, psychological suspense, and lush prose to explore beauty, decadence, and obsession.
