The King in Yellow (1895) is a book of short stories by American writer Robert W. Chambers. These stories are macabre in tone, centering, in keeping with the other tales, on characters that are often artists or decadents, inhabitants of the demi-monde. The first and fourth stories, The Repairer of Reputations and The Yellow Sign, are set in an imagined future 1920s America, whereas the second and third stories, The Mask and In the Court of the Dragon, are set in Paris. These stories are haunted by the theme: Have you found the Yellow Sign? The weird and macabre character gradually fades away during the remaining stories, and the last three are written in the romantic fiction style common to Chambers' later work. They are all linked to the preceding stories by their Parisian setting and their artistic protagonists.
