Status Updates From The King in Yellow: Origina...

I expected a bit more out of The Yellow Sign. I think I prefer the Repairer of Reputations as a spooky story, but this one still has plenty of merit. At worst, it serves as a good centerpiece for the King in Yellow and ties many details together and provides some illumination.

The Court of the Dragon is an interesting one. It’s primarily a more subtle and demure horror tale, up until the end when, with abruptness, the curtains are pulled back and hit you all at once. I could have been satisfied with just the vague insidiousness that was lurking beneath the text, but the shock at the end is also rather good.
