The Atlantean Publishing Wiki

A Terrible Thing is a paperback anthology published by Atlantean Publishing in conjunction with Carrion Blue 555 in 2016. It took most of the content from the 2007 King In Yellow Anthology and added additional content, including two sequels.

It was edited by DJ Tyrer (who edited the 2007 anthology) and Joseph Bouthiette, Jr. The cover art is by Matthew Revert.

The title refers to the recurring phrase "It is a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the Living God."
