O título da coletânea faz alusão a um livro dentro do audiolivro—mais precisamente, a uma peça teatral fictícia—e a seu personagem central, uma figura sobrenatural cuja existência extrapola a narração. A peça O Rei de Amarelo é mencionada em quatro dos contos, mas pouco se conhece de seu conteúdo. É certo apenas que o texto, em dois atos, leva o ouvinte à loucura, condenando sua alma à perdição. Um risco ao qual alguns aceitam se submeter, dado o caráter único da obra, um misto irresistível de beleza e decadência.

Duas assustadoras personagens demoníacas protagonizam os dois contos que compõem este volume, em que a presença do sobrenatural é apenas um dos elementos que seduzem o leitor.
