Hardback. Condition: Very Good. Evil books, shadowy corporations, and interdimensional monster collide in this dark, masterful tribute to Robert Chamber's cult classic, The King in Yellow. "Dark, elegant, and relentless, The Truth of Carcosa is dossier-horror at its finest--intimate, dangerous, and urgently of now.

Why do so many corporations seem hellbent on seizing any scrap of this mysterious manuscript--and at whatever cost? What are the strange, dancing monsters that appear wherever Archimboldi's work is discovered? And who--or what--is the Yellow King.…
