{"product_id":"9781782695653-retail-the-king-in-yellow","title":"The King in Yellow","description":"I cannot forget Carcosa where black stars hang in the heavens; where the shadows of men's thoughts lengthen in the afternoon... I pray God will curse the writer, as the writer has cursed the world with this beautiful, stupendous creation, terrible in its simplicity, irresistible in its truth - a world which now trembles before the King in Yellow. The weird tales in this slim volume are all linked by a play, the second act of which reveals truths so terrible and beautiful that it drives all who read it to despair:  The King in Yellow . These four macabre, uncanny and unsettling stories are some of the most thrilling ever written in the field of weird fiction, and since their first publication in 1895 have become a cult classic, influencing many writers from the renowned master of cosmic horror H.P. Lovecraft to the creators of HBO's  True Detective.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48755525910747,"sku":"9781782695653-RETAIL","price":21.24,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a88f8df9-b5c5-4b82-9bef-32a59fb82254.jpg?v=1778221619","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781782695653-retail-the-king-in-yellow","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
