Pulver, Sr. was writing poetic tales based upon Robert W. Chambers' \u003ci\u003eKing in Yellow\u003c\/i\u003e. Collected within this substantial volume of madness, murder, and spectral tragedy are tales of Carcosa, the characters that inhabit the KIY \u003ci\u003ePlay\u003c\/i\u003e, and Chambers' cosmic horror. Pulver's tales adhere to Chambers' core ideas and themes, and they retain all the mystery of Chambers originals. Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. has been acclaimed by many notable editors, writers, and reviewers, as the contemporary heir to Robert W. Chambers' \u003ci\u003eKing in Yellow\u003c\/i\u003e. Have you seen the Yellow Sign? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e '\u003ci\u003eThe King In Yellow\u003c\/i\u003e reigns over the labyrinthine crossroads between the grand indifference of the cosmic Outside, and the inner wasteland of the tormented mind, so it's no surprise to find Joe Pulver's saturnine face so frequently behind the Pallid Mask. Joe plies the fathomless depths of existential nightmare breathing music and poetry, and brings back strangely beautiful salvage. That he has so lovingly and deeply explored Chambers' bizarre pocket universe without destroying the merest scintilla of its mystery is ample testament to his painfully sharp craftsmanship and terrible wisdom.\" - Cody Goodfellow, \u003ci\u003eRadiant Dawn\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50478125875474,"sku":"9781511783385","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_48ed1e5f-66a8-4aec-bbce-732d999859d9.jpg?v=1730284422","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/the-king-in-yellow-tales-volume-1-9781511783385","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
