Produktbeschreibung

The King in Yellow is a book of short stories named after a play with the same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories. The book features highly esteemed weird stories and supernatural tales. Table of Contents: - "The Repairer of Reputations" - A weird story of egotism and paranoia which carries the imagery of the book's title. - "The Mask" - A dream story of art, love, and uncanny science. - "In the Court of the Dragon" - A man is pursued by a sinister church organist who is after his soul. - "The Yellow Sign" - An artist is troubled by a sinister churchyard watchman who resembles a coffin worm. - "The Demoiselle d'Ys" - A ghost story. - "The Prophets' Paradise" - A sequence of eerie prose poems that develop the style and theme of a quote from the fictional play The King in Yellow which introduces "The Mask". - "The Street of the Four Winds" - An atmospheric tale of an artist in Paris who is drawn to a neighbor's room by a cat; the story ends with a macabre touch. - "The Street of the First Shell" - A war story set in the Paris Siege of 1870. - "The Street of Our Lady of the Fields" - Romantic American bohemians in Paris. - "Rue Barrée" - Romantic American bohemians in Paris, with a discordant ending that playfully reflects some of the tone of the first story.
