Monster of the Day: The King in Yellow

Source:  "The King in Yellow."
Location:  Carcosa
Threat Assessment:  7.  The King is another form of meme plague.  It lives within the play known as "The King in Yellow."  Once read you fall under his control.  It's hard to say if the King has a life outside of the written word or not.  In either case the reader is doomed to madness.
Limitations:  Don't read it.  "Don't look Marion!"

  1. Loved this book! Arthur Machen's The Great God Pan also kicks butt I feel.
