Robert W. Chamber’s anthology “The King in Yellow” consists of several vignettes bound together by a fictional play of the same title. This play leaves readers changed, forming an obsession that leads to madness, irrationality, and purpose. More than this, though, the forbidden knowledge within leads those affected to disregard morality and societal norms.

Stand ready for my arrival, Worm.

I’ve long been a fan of the Dune saga. From it’s commentary on power and religion to its personal vignettes on drive and cunning, the series stands as a precient allegory of our own world.
