Syphilis, a venereal disease, was endemic in the bohemian circles Chambers moved in. It resonates quite strongly with his Yellow Sign, which covertly unites many men in shame, springs from sexual immorality (see "The Yellow Sign"), makes true love impossible, drives those who possess it mad, and ends in horrifying death. The Yellow Sign is no more "actually" syphilis than Poe's Red Death is "actually" tuberculosis; rather, both writers drew on powerful fears for their art, disease likely among them.

I finished reading "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, with annotations by Kenneth Hite. Yay for reading! :) https://www.instagram.com/p/C-I7AEdO3OP/

I think it was in a Bundle of Holding with Robin Laws's Yellow King RPG some time ago that I got a copy of the original Robert W. Chambers short story collection, The King in Yellow, with annotations by Kenneth Hite. And for various and sundry reasons I only just got around to actually reading it.

Except I now apparently need to search for a copy of the unannotated version, because while I made it through the first story, "The Repairer of Reputations", I kept getting distracted by the footnotes, flipping back and forwards and really messing with the narrative's forward momentum. As interesting as they are, I should pick up the details on which statue of General Philip Sheridan is being referred to, or the 1890s recipe for a Brunswick cocktail, on a second reading.

Some Books a Year, Episode Inch Punch

Wing Chun, by J. Yimm Lee. An introduction to wing chun’s basic hand techniques, a couple of kicks, & a step by step walkthrough of the sil lim tao form.

The Day After Ragnarok, by Kenneth Hite. A Savage Worlds setting of  post-alt-WWII Schmeisser & sorcery adventure. Patton died, the war continued into 1946. Nazi occultists summoned Jörmungandr to destroy their enemies. The US killed it with a kamikaze nuclear bomber to the eye. The snake - the 350-mile wide, circumference of the Earth long snake - fell down dead, crushing countries, setting off earthquakes & tsunamis, & poisoning half the world with radioactive magical blood & venom. Loki & the giants slipped their chains & fell in with Stalin because ... I dunno, Hite thought fighting tankies the size of King Kong sounded cool or something. Much two-fisted action ensues.

In Rennaisance Italy, the segno giallo ("yellow sign") referred to the yellow veil that the law required prostitutes to wear in Florence, Venice, and other cities. The courtesan and poet Tulia d'Aragona (1510-1556) used that precise expression preparing her petition to Grand Duke Cosimo I (1519-1574) of Florence for an exemption. A student of the Old Masters like Chambers may well have known of this particular symbol, which appears in works by Bugiardini, Veneziano, and especially Titian. The connection between the Yellow Sign and sexual immorality is clearest in this story [The Yellow Sign.]

Aldebaran and the Yellow Sign: Samuel Araya re-envisions an infamous icon

EDITOR’S NOTE: Samuel Araya previously explored his process for illustrating The King in Yellow in “The Darkening of Materials,” “No Mask,” “But Stranger Still,” and “The Tatters of the King.”

When I designed the Yellow Sign for this edition of The King in Yellow,I wanted to create something new and even contradictory to the text. (This dissonance certainly will only enrich the readers…

The recent post about Dr. Seuss-styled horror movie posters has reminded me of the "Mini Mythos" line of illustrated horror bedtime stories put out by Atlas Games, written by author and game designer Kenneth Hite — all takes on classic tales of the Cthulhu Mythos as told through classic children's stories.

Where the Deep Ones Are is "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" via Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, while Cliffourd the Big Red God is his retelling of "The Dunwich Horror".

The Antarctic Express is a take on At the Mountains of Madness via The Arctic Express, and Goodnight Azathoth speaks for itself.
