Critics have praised Culbard's unique style, noting that his clean lines and bold colors create an immersive experience that lingers in the reader's mind long after the final page is turned. With its blend of supernatural elements and psychological tension, The King in Yellow remains a seminal work in the realm of weird fiction, inviting both new and seasoned readers to explore its sinister depths.
