“Then I heard his voice rise up, thundering behind the blazing light, and I fell and was covered by blazing waves of fire. As I sank into the depths, I heard the King in Yellow whisper to my soul, "How terrible it is to fall into the hands of the living God!" In these stories, Chambers takes up the disturbing atmosphere of the mythical city of Carcosa created by Ambrose Bierce, whose darkness is projected on the peaceful everyday life, ripping it apart. A strange book —The King in Yellow— will be the portal that generates the overlapping of worlds, in which the dead are not resigned to remain, docile, in the eternal night. Santiago Caruso masterfully deciphers the dialogue between shadows and brilliance that extends from the images, captivating. "The King in Yellow, a series of loosely related stories set against a monstrous, forbidden book whose reading produces fear, madness, and mysterious tragedies, takes us to remarkable heights of cosmic terror."
