Summary

A stranger wanders into a historic New England town and encounters a man who claims to have discovered the secret of silence and longevity. As the night unfolds, the visitor realizes that his host's knowledge comes from peering too deeply into the forbidden past of the local indigenous lands. The story is a brief but potent study in regret and the unnatural preservation of life. It evokes a creeping unease about what might be watching from the shadows of history.

    There are books that haunt. The King in Yellow is one of them.
First published in 1895, this cycle of four interlinked stories—The Repairer of Reputations, The Mask, In the Court of the Dragon, and The Yellow Sign—offers a view into a world just a shade off from our own. Beneath the surface of elegant prose and civil order lies something broken, something touched by madness, art, power—and something unspeakably strange.
A book within the book, a play that should never be read, threads through each tale, leaving behind not answers, but echoes. With quiet menace and disquieting beauty, Chambers sketches a fictional universe that lingers like a fevered dream.
Not quite horror, not quite science fiction, not quite fantasy—The King in Yellow is a singular work. A whisper from the shadows. An invitation to look too long at the thing you cannot name.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
In the archives of a German abbey, the English antiquary Mr Somerton finds a riddle left behind by Abbot Thomas von Eschenhausen, a sixteenth-century churchman rumoured to have hidden a fortune in gold before his death. The clue is hidden in the painted glass of the abbey windows, in Latin inscriptions and in a line of scripture about the one who keeps watch. 
 
Somerton solves it. He finds the well in the ruins and climbs down to the stone that hides the treasure. But Abbot Thomas left a guardian with his gold, and in the dark at the bottom of that well, something reaches back. 
 
From Ghost Stories of an Antiquary (1904), The Treasure of Abbot Thomas is one of the finest tales by M.R. James, the master of the English ghost story. It combines an ingenious cipher puzzle with a moment of pure, unforgettable terror.
