The King In Yellow And Other Horrors by Robert W. Chambers
A collection of late-19th-century short stories that blend decadent romance, gothic atmosphere, and emerging cosmic horror; several linked tales revolve around a mysterious, banned play whose passages warp minds and provoke obsession, while other pieces mix detective elements and tragic melancholy set in bohemian Paris and shadowy New York. Themes of artistic mania, corrosive symbols, fragile sanity, and hints of an indifferent otherworld recur throughout, producing an unsettling, elegiac mood that helped shape later weird fiction.
