About the book: 1992 / After the artist first saw this creepy watchman, he ruined the canvas. Then the girl Tessie, who was posing for him, told about a terrible dream in which this same watchman was the coachman of a hearse, and in it it was he, the artist, who lay still alive in a coffin. Later, he himself began to have terrible dreams. And all this was connected with the watchman, who was all “kind of fat and soft.” One day he asked the artist: “Have you found the Yellow Sign?” This became a harbinger of trouble. The only story translated into Russian from Robert Chambers’ collection “The King in Yellow” (1895), considered the best.
