At the Armitage Symposium during NecronomiCon Providence 2026, I presented on decadent art, the pseudoscientific theory of hereditary degeneration, and their relation to Robert W. Chambers’ seminal work of cosmic horror, The King in Yellow.
Degeneration & Decadence in the Dragon’s Court:
How Fin-de-Siécle Paris’ Gay Cruising Scene Gave The King in Yellow’s Play its Cognitively Poisonous Power.
Soon, I will be putting the slides, script, and bibliography up for download on this page!
Thank you so much for enjoying my presentation, I’m absolutely thrilled. :)
