I remember reading The King In Yellow and being very disappointed that it has almost nothing to do with the king in yellow, its a collection of short stories, is not even that much horror more like weird mystery. One really good sci fi stories tho, very weird how old it is for the kind of concepts it has.

Same here, the story about the man who had deluded himself into thinking he was meant to be Emperor was amazing, the rest was kinda meh, and severas stories werent even related to the mythos...

I meant the King in Yellow mythos. Maybe I just got a shitty edition, but some of the stories were entirely unrelated to the KiY.

There was no King in Yellow mythos when it was written. That little story about the play was the genesis.
