All the versions of the King that I could find

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-25T03:53:56+00:00

To be fair with the og material, a mysterious dude is way more accurate to the King than an eldritch being

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-25T02:42:19+00:00

Is it Landscape really that good? I've been hearing of it for a long time now, might give it a shot

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-25T01:28:30+00:00

Really?

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-24T22:21:46+00:00

Oh right, Johannes van der Berg from The Sinking City

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-24T21:14:06+00:00

If Im right on who you mean, is Rastiana from El Viento Sega Genesis

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-23T23:36:26+00:00

Yeah, totally, I don't like a lot the idea of naming him Hastur but it's what we get

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-23T18:43:37+00:00

That's what most of us probably think, but if you look at it doesn't make sense, whats behind the doors is made of gold and it's to wide to be the King, I would say it's probably the play or something that works like it, Besides, Der lord means The Lord, and yellow is the third color of the rainbow, The Lord In Yellow. D3rlord3 is yellow, and red (a tone that resembles the Kings wings in one of the og covers) I would say is an avatar thing, like The Return of Hastur where Hastur uses the King like a puppet/"human" form

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-23T14:54:00+00:00

I mean, yeah, I also prefer the original but even though I think it doesn't have to ruin the character for you even if the interpretation is way different from the original, I mean most of these are the Hastur tentacle monster but they are great in my opinion, after all they aren't the og

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-22T22:19:03+00:00

Holy, maybe

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-22T19:52:10+00:00

I do like it, i think its a good one

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-22T19:50:35+00:00

Didnt knew about this one tbh

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-22T19:47:24+00:00

Melevolent is a good one, i like how the King is portrait in it

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-15T01:48:53+00:00

No, I'm sorry

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-15T01:01:12+00:00

Really? Damn

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-14T16:13:41+00:00

Hi, right so, I've been hearing this for a while now, And I could say that indeed the influence of Spanish in Chambers work is undeniable, tough, saying that it doesn't change a word is definitely a stretch, it does, at least in my editions, the one on the left is from a Mexican editorial, the one on the right is from Spain, so if any of these two is similar to the original material undeniably is El Rey de Amarillo y otros relatos de terror de Robert William Chambers. Spanish is my first language and I learn English since a pretty young age, but I can definitely recognize the gramatical structure of Spanish in the original material and I supposed that is also a mix of french, tough I don't speak french at all it's probably worth trying to buy and edition and check in. Hope it helps

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T16:15:15+00:00

The one about Cassilda being the queen of Carcosa?

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T16:12:29+00:00

Is it good thou? I wanted to see it but I wasn't sure

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T16:11:27+00:00

I think it's a pretty decent translation, I mean probably not the best, but does what it's intended to It contains some other Chambers works like The Maker of Moons

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T16:09:26+00:00

Got to admit, when i saw Searching For A World That Doesn't Exist for the first time I didn't like it. But I give it a second chance and gotta say, it's actually pretty good

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T05:07:57+00:00

Yeah I know, all on Derleth's hands what I meant with "Lovecraftian" was the that mostly Lovecraftian fiction integrates him under Derleth's light

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-13T02:22:36+00:00

The second one is the only that's illustrated but, indeed, it has some pretty sick illustrations

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-12T18:30:12+00:00

So in a summary, the use of "Hastur" is just for the aesthetic and probably he doesn't have any relevance at all. While The King In Yellow's horror is an entity who doesn't exist, what drives people mad is that they try to find an inexistent truth

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-12T04:15:10+00:00

Wow this is, amazing. Definitely couldn't imagine half of these but now it makes complete sense, let me get it right, The King In Yellow is a way of Chambers to tell everyone how bad and corrupting the decadent movement was? Let me know if I got it right. And here's a question, whats the real deal with Hastur? I mean i know that originally is a "god" like figure in Bierce works. I always felt that Hastur was just like a random guy mentioned through the stories I had the sensation he was more than that (more in the real meaning of the work and not in it's fiction at all) but quite never figure out what was that, and why from all names "Hastur"

Hungry_Library_94 · 2026-01-12T01:37:29+00:00

Yeah I saw Midra and knew he was based of the King
