The Mysterious King in Yellow, the enigmatic and unknown Carcosa, the frightening Yellow Sign appeared in our world at the end of the 19th century, thanks to the genius of Robert Chambers. Over the decades since the release of the collection "The King in Yellow" in 1895, its central characters have firmly entered the pantheon of supernatural horror literature, and the book itself has become a classic of the weird fiction genre. Chambers' works were admired by H.P. Lovecraft himself, noting the incredible darkness of the atmosphere in some of his stories, and even incorporating his characters into his literary mythology. Moreover, "The King in Yellow" inspired numerous imitators and gave rise to its own universe known as the "Carcosa Cycle" or "Yellow Myths." Finally, the enigmatic nature of "The King in Yellow" inspired the creators of the first season of "True Detective," which has undoubtedly become a cult classic. And now, the opportunity is presented to the Russian reader to appreciate the famous collection of stories by R. Chambers in its entirety. But will they dare to delve into the most intimate depths of the unknown, hidden beneath the pale mask of the King?
