"Have you found the Yellow Sign?" is a perfectly normal question to be asked by perfectly normal people with white skin who's flesh falls off easily. Nothing could ever go horribly

Okay, this is giving serious Magnus Archives vibes

Onto the fourth short story!

Okay, so that's the King in Yellow

Creepy fella

Ah, you know it's gonna go well when they start talking about an organ and its music
