The King In Yellow
This play first appeared in France around 1895 without an author. All copies of the book were quickly seized and destroyed by the government. Some copies survived, and are often popular among artists.
The play centers on the tragedy of Carcosa, a city of ambiguous location. The reader is invariably haunted by the story, and begins to see parallels between the characters and action of the play with his waking life.
