zsabella 's review for:
The King in Yellow
by Robert W. Chambers
dark
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
the pushkin edition of the 4 interconnected stories reads more like weird (not scary) vignettes about people who read ‘the king in yellow’ play and lost their minds in different ways. this isn’t poorly written, but a little boring for psychological horror and skippable even if you were interested in the inspiration behind true detective like I was.
