?To simply read the play is to go mad. But you... you performed in it!? Submitted for your approval: a sampling from my short story collection, Fugue Devil: Resurgence... a tale of eldritch horror titled ?Masque of the Queen.? This one originally appeared in In the Court of the Yellow King (Celaeno Press, 2014), a volume of stories inspired by Robert W. Chambers? ?The King in Yellow? ? a play that brings madness, despair... or death... to anyone who reads it. ?Masque of the Queen? follows a young actress slated to play Queen Cassilda in an off-Broadway production of ?The King in Yellow.? Unaware of the play?s dreadful reputation, she finds herself embroiled in a series of inexplicable events ? and then desperate to escape the clutches of something intent on dragging her into a realm of madness and horror.
