The King in Yellow was originally published in 1895 written by Robert W. Chambers. In this unsettling first chapter, we meet Hildred Castaigne, a young man haunted by madness after an accident, as he descends into a dark conspiracy linked to a forbidden play. Set in a strange, alternate New York of 1920, Hildred’s story blurs the line between reality and delusion, introducing us to the eerie world of the Yellow King.
