Simultaneously a divine being, a play, and a book through the meta of fiction. He's also a cthulhu mythos god if you want to butcher the original work.

A collection of short stories by Robert W Chambers pertaining to a fictional play called 'The King in Yellow' taking place in some fantastical or semi-fantastical place. Supposedly the play causes madness or bizarre obsession. It and various terms associated with it figure mostly in the stories 'The Yellow Sign' and 'The Repairer of Reputations'.

Names such as 'Hali', 'Hastur' and 'Carcosa' are in fact creations of an earlier writer, Ambrose Bierce. The collection was much admired by H.P. Lovecraft and he referenced the work lightly.

Shitbag hacks after Lovecraft decided le Hastur meme 2spooky was Cthulhu Mythos stuff and forever ditched the source material because Derleth was a fucking cunt who obsessively kept a choke hold on Lovecraft's works after he died and spawned a neverending misinterpretation of HPLs works by being a colossal idiot.

Also, Yellow Sign and Repairer are the only good stories in the collection.
