If you read one story from this collection, read "The Repairer of Repuatations". If you want more, consider stopping after "The Yellow Sign". 
 I loved the concepts, and theres some really great weird stories in the first part of this collection. I'm unsure why the back half of the stories are in this collection titled "The King in Yellow". While they may be about artists of the time period, they have nothing to do with the King in Yellow frame. 
 I can see the inspiration that the book within the story creates. Probably my favorite of these inspirations is the film "In the Mouth of Madness" ("Do you read Sutter Kane?")
