The King in Yellow. Chambers R.

The greatest short story cycle of the late 19th and early 20th centuries! Having put down the book, they were no longer sure how real the events around them were… The beginning of an alternative 20th century. In every city in the United States, the humane government opens Palaces of Death for those who wish to end their lives… The forbidden, blasphemous play “The King in Yellow” causes an epidemic of mental disorders… People’s disturbing dreams about one another, strange coincidences, and hauntings in America and Europe… How are all these events connected, and what role does the legend of the divinely beautiful Carcosa play—a city that every poet and dreamer is destined to visit, even if they end up imprisoned there forever?..
