After discovering pages of a mysterious play called The King in Yellow, Carmen is drawn into a dangerous cycle of desire and hallucination, blurring reality and nightmare as she risks bringing horrors back into her world. Original.

Euphoria meets Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke in this latest novel by the Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper, following a couple whose search to spice up their sex life leads them down a path of madness.

A kink-fixated couple, Carmen and Blanca, have been in a rut. That is until Blanca discovers the enigmatic Smoke in an under-street drug den, who holds pages to a strange play, The King in Yellow. Read too much, and you’ll fall into madness. But read just a little and pull back, and it gives you the adrenaline rush of survivor’s euphoria, leading Carmen to fall into a game of lust at a nightmare’s edge.

As the line blurs between the world Carmen knows and the one that she visits after reading from the play, she begins to desire more time in this other world no matter what horrors she brings back with her.

Bram Stoker Award–winning author Hailey Piper masterfully blends horror, erotica, and psychological thriller in this captivating and chilling story.

Recenzijos

"A dangerous game of cat and mouse between a submissive lesbian at a dead end job and the Cthhonic powers that lurk between the pages of a certain yellow play, A Game in Yellow is a tightly plotted homage that builds upon lost Carcossa and spins you around in a shimmering masquerade of the senses." -- Linden A. Lewis, author of The First Sister "Audacious as hell, with the broken heart and searing talent to make it sing." -- Christopher Golden, author of The House of Last Resort Surreal, disquieting, and wholly absorbing, Hailey Pipers A Game in Yellow possesses such suffocating power to bewilder, to enchant, and to completely overwhelm the reader. Written with the provocativeness of a Lynchian fever dream and the sophistication of a story by Lovecraft, this is Pipers most arresting and satisfying work yet. A novel centered around mythology, obsession, sexuality, fetish, and the facade of the dramatic and the theatricalI surrendered gladly and this book melted my brain. -- Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke
