The King in Yellow is a book of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers, first published in 1895. The book is named after a play with the same title which recurs as a motif through some of the stories. The first half of the book features highly esteemed weird stories, and the book has been described by critics as a classic in the field of the supernatural. There are ten stories, the first four of which ("The Repairer of Reputations", "The Mask", "In the Court of the Dragon", and "The Yellow Sign") mention The King in Yellow, a forbidden play which induces despair or madness in those who read it. A Must Read Cult Classic for Lovers of the Supernatural!

Cheap disaster of a printing
Don't but this version. Severe issues with the printing of the book. Jumbled mess of pages of different heights leading to cutoff of the top of the pages. Obviously, no quality control. Mysterious stamp on the top of the book - does not look like it was made in the US.

It feels off?!?
The book looks off the cover art doesn’t look correctly. There is no Edition The writing of book looks like someone copied and pasted it, Just to let you know, the king yellow is in public domain so that most likely why the information looks like that

This is a scam listing
This is my second time falling for these. Whoever sells this copy prints a version that seems like it's been Google Translated back into English from some other language, with a cover that looks like a .jpg from Google Images. Don't make my mistake and don't be fooled by the idea of saving a couple bucks - you WILL NOT get your money's worth.

Haven’t read it book seems fine

Looks like it was printed in an Amazon backroom.
This looks like it was photocopied in a teachers lounge at a local high school. The cover appears to have a low quality image blown up beyond what it should, making it look distorted.

This feels off
This copy has no copyright page. I can't tell what edition it is, who printed it, when it was printed, who holds the copyright for the book's content, or what year it was copyrighted. All you get is an ISBN on the back.The graphic on the cover of the book is blocky and gross.This feels and looks like a cheap knock off.The only reason I'm not giving it 1 star is you get what you pay for. This seems like the cheapest option available. I'd suggest asking your local bookshop to order you a copy for pickup.
