The Demoiselle D'ys, An Excerpt from The King in Yellow: The Magical Antiquarian Curiosity Shoppe, A Weiser Books Collection
Энэ электрон номын тухай
Robert W. Chamber's most hauntingly romantic tale from his collection of horror.
From the intro:
The most achingly beautiful and romantic of all the vignettes of The King in Yellow. Chambers exquisitely colors each scene, each action, each thought with the measured care of a master painter driven mad with ecstatic love. In this installment he makes no mention of the dreaded document, The King in Yellow, but he really doesn’t need to. By now the reader has been drawn into the unspoken nightmare of its spell – trapped like some helpless prehistoric beast sinking slowly to ia suffocating death in a tar-pit of elegantly phrased insanity.
Will love prevail for our hero?
