Am I taking the bait, or adding to it, when I point out that "the King in Yellow" was originally from short stories? "The King In Yellow" was a Raymond Chandler story about the fictional murder of bandleader King Leopardi, who first appears (alive) in yellow satin shorts.
Spoiler: Bait?

Adding to it. The Chandler story was from 1938, while the Robert Chambers collection of stories The King in Yellow appeared in 1898. "The King in Yellow" was a character in a (nonexistent) play of the same name that is mentioned in some of the stories.
