If you mean King in Yellow short story specifically, read Simmons' Drood.

I guess I should have clarified just the stories concerning the yellow king itself; The Repairer of Reputations, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign.

H. P. Lovecraft (either read all of his stories chronologically, or start with The Call of Cthulhu, The Music of Erich Zann, The Rats in the Walls, The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and The Colour Out of Space)
William Hope Hodgson (start with The House on the Borderland)
Arthur Machen (start with The Great God Pan and The White People)
Algernon Blackwood (start with The Willows)

I don't understand. How was there politics in King in Yellow?

>> No.14450950

I don't get it either. The only vaguely political thing about it is The Repairer of Reputations takes place in some sort of militaristic, slightly dystopian New York, but I don't think Chambers was attempting to make any sort of social commentary. Also, it's unclear whether the narrator's descriptions of New York are real or illusions that are products of his insanity.

It's just a joke because there was another list that was taken to a poll and some other guy made this one in response.

kek, could you post the other list?

Even that wasn't true, because the 'dystopian future' was very likely to be the perception of madman.
