Robert W. Chambers (1865-1933) was an illustrator, novelist, and short story writer. His most famous effort, The King in Yellow, is regarded as one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction. He also wrote historical fiction, several bestselling romance novels, and war and adventure stories. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
"The King in Yellow, a series of vaguely connected short stories having as a background a monstrous and suppressed book whose perusal brings fright, madness, and spectral tragedy, really achieves notable heights of cosmic fear in spite of uneven interest and a somewhat trivial and affected cultivation of the Gallic studio atmosphere made popular by Du Maurier's Trilby. The most powerful of its tales, perhaps, is The Yellow Sign, in which is introduced a silent and terrible churchyard watchman with a face like a puffy grave-worm's." - from the Introduction by H.P. Lovecraft.

补标:失去了真探里那种若隐若现的阴森与不可名状的克苏鲁气质,后面几乎真的是言情了嘛…
评分不寒而栗,脊背发凉
评分符合克式套路:触碰了禁忌知识的主人公在癫狂或恐惧中迎来绝望的结局。当然钱伯斯本质是浪漫派作家,写着写着就变成爱情小说了,The Mask就是很好的例子。
评分我的童年读物
评分开头的那首诗很棒 其中的一些故事 现在看起来很俗套 但放在那个时代 很不容易吧 总体来看只能称得上是一般 读起来有些无趣
