Starting this Saturday, March 1, the FREEZINE of Fantasy and Science Fiction (in association with The Project Gutenberg produced by Suzanne Shell, Beth Trapaga, Charles Franks, and their Online Distributed Proofreading Team) will present our host of readers and subscribers with the full and original text of Robert W. Chambers 1895 collection of short stories The King in Yellow (originally published by F. Tennyson Neely).
All ten stories will be serialized word for word in thirty-two daily installments throughout March, including weekends. (One of the stories, The Prophets of Paradise, comprised of eight extremely short written sequences, will provide one daily installment in and of itself.)
The remaining nine stories from the collection will be serialized by their respective parts; all in all, the anthology breaks precisely into thirty-two sections of a dread prose whose infectious quality may only become fully apparent once the reader subjects him or herself to its malignancy in person.

Be sure to remain subscribed to the FREEZINE of Fantasy and Science Fiction, and tell as many friends as you possibly can about this exciting resurrection of the most feared manuscript in the history of humanity's weird literature.
Readers be warned: it is well known that this book has been proven to infect susceptible readers the world over with a particular meme or strange virus whose nature is to spread and affect only those who have been rather unfortunate enough to have considered themselves immune to the consequences of having been exposed to the dread post-hypnotic commands provided courtesy of Robert W. Chambers through his infamous sequence of toxic tales bound together and collected into the fabled tome referred to as The King in Yellow.
So be sure to prepare yourselves for the first installment,
