Reviews for The King in Yellow

"""For me [The King in Yellow] demonstrates how an uncanny enigma can be more satisfying and more lasting than an explanation that neatly knots the supernatural. No wonder Lovecraft admired it."" —Ramsey Campbell ""The King in Yellow is a book of nightmarish intensity of a sort that one rarely finds in any other writing of its period, and perhaps anywhere in all literature."" —S. T. Joshi"
