- "The King in Yellow, a series of vaguely connected short storieshaving as a background a monstrous and suppressed book whose perusal bringsfright, madness, and spectral tragedy, really achieves notable heights of cosmicfear in spite of uneven interest and a somewhat trivial and affected cultivationof the Gallic studio atmosphere made popular by Du Maurier's Trilby. The mostpowerful of its tales, perhaps, is The Yellow Sign, in which is introduced asilent and terrible churchyard watchman with a face like a puffy grave-worm's."-- from the Introduction by H.P. Lovecraft.
