Speak English, friend.

It's a pretty difficult read so I wouldn't be surprised if you missed quite a lot of the plot and just ended up remembering shallow details...

Actually, no. You're 100% right anon. Chambers didn't normally do eldritch work so The King In Yellow is extremely schizophrenic.

Half the book are the stories you've heard so much about, the other half are shit.

i read the first story when visiting my in-laws over christmas. at the beginning, he talks about how the negros have all been sent to this place that just so happens to be the name of the town i was in (a small but very /lit/ town).

it triggered my schizophrenia, made me really anxious and i noped the fuck out of the book.

really good writing desu senpai

Could you at least try to point some deeper meanings of this book?

And I mean the romantic artist in Paris part, not the actually-good first part.

>The King in Yellow is difficult
>in another thread, they say Heart of Darkness is difficult

lmao

I actually liked those love stories as well, but yeah, the earlier stories are better.

What's the town if you don't mind me asking?

sewanee, TN. i know it's nearly named with the suwanee river in florida, but there's no rationalizing with paranoia.

The stories get progressively worse as the book goes on.
