This collection by Robert W. Chambers was initially publicized in 1895 and features stories loosely tied together with one theme, the supernatural. Many of the stories in The King in Yellow weren't received well by the critics of that time period because of the supernatural undertones. Some of the stories talk about a play by the same name that were outlawed in a few regions of the entire world. It was thought that the play could generate madness in those who viewed it. Two of the stories in this book take place in a fictional world into the future 1920s and are macabre in tone. Eventually, The King in Yellow would go on to become a sensation, partly due to its forbidden tone and subject material. Today, this book of short stories is really as popular as ever, especially with those who like a little supernatural blended in with their literature.
