About this product

Product Information

The King in Yellow and The Slayer of Souls - Includes the 'Yellow Sign' - Two Classic Novels in One Book. By Robert W. Chambers. Arkham Horror Reference Book Series. The Yellow Sign is a fictional symbol or glyph, first described in Robert W. Chambers' book of horror short stories The King in Yellow (1895). he King in Yellow never fully describes the shape and purpose of the Yellow Sign. Nonetheless, The Repairer of Reputations, one of the stories in the collection, suggests that anyone who possesses, even by accident, a copy of the sign is susceptible to some form of insidious mind control, or possession, by the King in Yellow or one of his heirs. The stories also suggest that the original creator of the sign was t human and possibly came from a strange alternate dimension that contains an omius and ancient city kwn as Carcosa. H. P. Lovecraft and many of his imitators were great admirers of Chambers' book and incorporated many of his characters and symbols into their own works. In the latter-day Cthulhu Mythos, developed by August Derleth and other Lovecraft imitators, the Yellow Sign is the sign of Hastur and is used by members of his cult to identify one ather. In addition, according to many of these works one of Hastur's avatars is kwn as the King in Yellow. The King in Yellow THE YELLOW SIGN Let the red dawn surmise What we shall do, When this blue starlight dies And all is through. I There are so many things which are impossible to explain! Why should certain chords in music make me think of the brown and golden tints of autumn foliage? Why should the Mass of Sainte Cecile bend my thoughts wandering among caverns whose walls blaze with ragged masses of virgin silver? What was it in the roar and turmoil of Broadway at six o'clock that flashed before my eyes the picture of a still Breton forest where sunlight filtered through spring foliage and Sylvia bent, half curiously, half tenderly, over a small green lizard, murmuring: To think that this also is a little ward of God!
