My Travels to The Isle of Carcosa (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781542894661)

Within my mind and before my eyes, into darkness I went. My Travels to The Isle of Carcosa is a novelette written in epic poem style and form but with modern fluidity which allows it to be read like short fiction as well. The classic mythos of Carcosa and the king in yellow have been haunting the pages of literature for hundreds of years. From its first noticable mentions by Ambroce Bierce, to Chambers, Lovecraft, and beyond, the mysterious myth of the unamed traveler waking to find himself in another dimension, and that of the Yellow King and the eery symbolism surrounding his story, has mesmorized readers of strange fiction and horror and has taken on a life of its own as each writer further unfolds the iconic story. This is a new modern take on the classic story and language of the original stories within the mythos by Bierce, and Chambers. It pays homage to the epic saga as a whole and extends the story in greater detail and imagery than ever before. Bringing more in-depth structure to a scattering of stories of old, and creating a world rich with new mysterious symbolism, this is an epic and terrifying addition to the age-old story of Carcosa.
