Resumen del Editor
This collection by Robert W. Chambers was first published in 1895 and features stories loosely tied together with one theme, the supernatural. Many of the stories in The King in Yellow were not received well by the critics of the time due to their supernatural undertones.
Some of the stories mention a play by the same name that had been outlawed in some regions of the world. It was thought that the play could induce madness in those who viewed it. Two of the stories in this book take place in a fictional world of the future 1920s and are macabre in tone. Eventually, The King in Yellow would go on to become a sensation, partly due to its forbidden tone and subject matter. Today, this book of short stories is as popular as ever, especially with those who like a little supernatural mixed in with their literature.

The Master and Margarita is one of the most famous and best-selling Russian novels of the 20th century, despite its surreal environment of talking cats, Satan and mysterious happenings. Naxos AudioBooks presents this careful abridgement of a new translation in an imaginative reading by the charismatic Julian Rhind-Tutt. With War and Peace and Crime and Punishment among the Naxos AudioBooks best-sellers, this too promises to be a front title.

Historia
What is the terrible secret at the heart of The King in Yellow? The forbidden play’s second act is said to drive all those who read it mad. And the sinister text casts its shadow of dread over Robert W. Chambers’s collection of weird, supernatural stories of the same name. Threaded with elements of fantasy, science fiction, the supernatural, and gothic horror, this cult classic continues to inspire the imagination of artists - from H. P. Lovecraft to the writers of HBO’s True Detective - and delight connoisseurs of the macabre.

Historia
What is the terrible secret at the heart of The King in Yellow? The forbidden play’s second act is said to drive all those who read it mad. And the sinister text casts its shadow of dread over Robert W. Chambers’s collection of weird, supernatural stories of the same name. Threaded with elements of fantasy, science fiction, the supernatural, and gothic horror, this cult classic continues to inspire the imagination of artists - from H. P. Lovecraft to the writers of HBO’s True Detective - and delight connoisseurs of the macabre.

Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

switches genres without a word.
dramatic tone shift half way through :/ it goes from decent and well written weird fiction to decent and well written turn of the century romances, which isn't what was advertised.

Mediocrity is the Scariest Thing in the World.
Would you consider the audio edition of The King in Yellow to be better than the print version?
The compelling message of Robert Chamber's, "The King in Yellow," in my opinion, has been missed. The first several stories are inspirational, disturbing, and terrifying prophetic in their universal warning that those who read The King in Yellow, the self-same book the reader is enjoying, will go mad once they read the 2nd act of the play. Anticipating, no, even enthusiastically awaiting the chance to put one's mental fortitude to the test, the reader continues notwithstanding the fact that the book is a collection of short stories and not a play and so could not be the actual terrible book the author references. The let down is real as the second half of the book may have been written by doe-eyed romantic in an afterschool creative writing class. Thus, you see the joke, the perverse slap in the face, the proverbial "got ya" yelled into your ear from decades ago. The thing that makes us go insane is mediocrity.
If you’ve listened to books by Robert W. Chambers before, how does this one compare?
A classic
Have you listened to any of Philippe Duquenoy’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
The narration was well done.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
See above.
