Have You Found the Yellow Sign?
"I was turning to go into the dining-room when my eye fell upon a book bound in serpent skin, standing in a corner of the top shelf of the last bookcase." —Robert W. Chambers, "The Yellow Sign"
The King in Yellow. Robert W. Chambers’ unearthly book has inspired millions of shivering readers since the death of the Gilded Age. This beautiful edition brings new potency to its stories of madness and romance.
Acclaimed artist Samuel Araya graces this edition of The King in Yellow with his finest work. Full-page paintings and unnerving sketches evoke the weird romance of Robert Chambers’ finest tales.
Author Kenneth Hite annotates every tale with his uniquely macabre erudition. His insights bring ever-deeper understanding of truths that only the mad or the hopeless would seek.
This tome will stand with pride on any shelf. Readers will be drawn again and again to the Sign engraved in gold...to the twin suns strangely setting...to the tattered robes of the King in Yellow.

An Alloy of Steel & Officer Material!
Sergeant Theodora Fusilier, serial number 110552, is one of the hundred thousand war machines in the army of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Beyond that share her name. She was programmed to protect innocents, battle alien threats, and obey her human officers. It’s all she’s supposed to need.
But Dora’s always been a rather ambitious machine.
After decades of saving, an expensive officer’s commission is finally within reach, but it won’t be easy. Faced with the foreign drama of human aristocracy, rebellious troops and incompetent subordinates, and battles both internal and very real, Lieutenant Fusilier finds herself thrown headlong into an unfamiliar world in more ways than one...
An expanded and edited version of the 2020 web novel, Lieutenant Fusilier is a frankly bizzare alternate history retrofuture military sci-fi story, a bit Napoleonic war fiction and a bit reverse portal fantasy. It's a story about responsibility, imperialism, and being out of place, starring a useless gay robot working very hard not to live up to the legacy of her red uniform.
The winner of SufficientVelocity.com's Users' Choice Awards Best Completed Fic for 2021.
As a bonus, there's an STL of Lieutenant Fusilier herself at 28mm scale, if you're the 3d printing sort!
Purchasing the PDF will give a discount for the print-on-demand version from DriveThruFiction at-cost when it is released.
