The yellow sign?

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

It's from The King In Yellow, a sort of proto-lovecraftian horror story. The Yellow King and Yellow Sign are symbolic of forbidden knowledge that ruins your life and drives you insane.

Incidentally it's also where the name "Carcosa" is from.
