Atomic City Art<p>I have an unhealthy obsession with The King In Yellow. The idea that a written work has the power to drive those who read it mad is terrifying. Robert W Chambers work is significant because now, thanks in part to HP Lovecraft, we see iterations of The King In Yellow everywhere. The madness is pervasive, like a force of nature moving slowly across the landscape of our collective consciousness. </p><p><a href="https://mas.to/tags/thekinginyellow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thekinginyellow</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/hplovecraft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hplovecraft</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/robertwchambers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>robertwchambers</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cosmichorror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cosmichorror</span></a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/atomiccityart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atomiccityart</span></a></p>
