Having backed the KING IN YELLOW RPG Kickstarter I can tell you that the stuff that they’re offering in the Bundle of Holding‘s worth it. Particularly Robin Laws’ THE MISSING AND THE LOST: it’s just a good book in its own right. He should be selling it more widely — in fact, why am I not telling him that?

Book of the Week: The Missing and the Lost.
It’s not available yet, but surely Robin Laws will sell The Missing and the Lost on Amazon. And get it print-published: it’s simply that good. Basically, it’s an alternate-history horror novel set in an America that has just had a successful revolution against the Imperial Castaigne Dynasty of America. It’s all full of Yellow Sign and Carcosa goodness, and absolutely stands on its own as a novel.
No embed, but you can preorder here.
In the (E-)Mail: Robin D. Laws’s ‘The Missing and the Lost.’
You’d have to have done the Yellow King RPG Kickstarter to have gotten the link today to Robin D. Laws’s The Missing and the Lost. If you have, then you should download that book; it’s rather good. If you haven’t, well, keep track of it until it comes available; again, it’s rather good.
Basic conceit is that it’s an alternate history Hastur Mythos novel where Hildred Castaigne (the protagonist of Robert Chambers’s “The Repairer of Reputations”) actually succeeded in creating a Imperial dynasty that ended up ruling the United States for a century, all for the benefit of the King in Yellow and his Yellow Sign. And then there was a revolution, and the Emperor has fled, and people are trying to rebuild and not think about all that literally insane magical stuff that had been going on. Only they can’t…
I’m about sixty percent in, and it’s good stuff. Get it, when you can.
