9: The King in Yellow - Eldritch Mysteries and the Victorian Underbelly

[Some technical difficulties on Matt's end on this one, apologies!] Readers beware, you're in for a scare! Matt and Roswell take a trip back to 1895 to discuss Robert Chambers seminal short story collection: The King in Yellow. This 'weird fiction' work was highly influential on later horror writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, Steven King, and Nic Pizzolatto. We discuss three short stories and their relevance to this podcasts ever present themes of occultism and elite misconduct. Also discussed are Victorian era drug use, Oscar Wilde (and his crimes), and our decision to use NPR voice.
