Is The King in Yellow actually good or is it just a meme?

The Yellow Sign (one of the short stories in TKIY) is possibly the greatest short horror story ever written. Repairer of Reputations is pretty good as well. The rest is kind of meh. Altogether it is a very strange read.
Chambers is more down to earth than Lovecraft, so he tends to be more approachable.

it's a meme
the usage-history of the meme in lit (and of course TV most recently) is much more interesting than the story
It was ok. Chambers writes well, but the stories were no all that entertaining, at least the conclusion in many of them felt unclimactic.
