“《黄衣》是一部仅仅少量印刷的书籍,已经少量,书出版后在欧美各国被查,因为据说凡读过此书的人无一例外会陷入疯狂,招来惨剧,导致死亡,而我们的故事,就从几个读过《黄衣》的人身边开始……” 《黄衣》收入的10篇小说中,虽然只有4篇是恐怖故事,2篇是诡异故事,却毫不影响本书成为全世界“泛克苏鲁圈”读者们心目中的旷世经典,作者罗伯特·W.钱伯斯更是被誉为克苏鲁神话体系的奠基人之一。前4篇的故事情节都与一本《黄衣》有关,讲述了幻想自己是贵族后裔的精神病人、有自然能力的雕刻家、被教堂邪气追逐的疯子,以及面临死亡的艺术家的故事。后6篇则与作者在巴黎的学艺经历有关。

Very good stories, drops off in the latter ones

The King in Yellow is a collection of various short stories.

The first few start off amazingly, detailing the madness and strangeness of the King in Yellow. However, after that, the stories don't really focus on it as much. There is still strangeness, and skilled writing of course, but I just didn't enjoy them quite as much.

Overall, they're great stories though, and I'd recommend reading at least the first few.

A really random collection of stories

This is a really random collection of stories. I read this on the Serial Reader app, so I didn't really know much about it when I went into it. As I progressed, I had this idea that it was going to be a collection of stories that in some way all had The King in Yellow in them, but that wasn't the case. The stories also aren't all the same genre.

My two favorite stories out of the bunch are the one about the guy in the church who sees the same guy twice and the story about the guy who gets lost in the moors, Phillip. The final story wasn't too bad either, except it ended without any sort of resolution regarding Hastings. It could have been a good story but it just wasn't finished.
