Ambrose

From The Yellow Site

The story itself can be found online HERE.

"Ambrose," by John Scott Tynes, is a tale of the King in Yellow for children; it reportedly grew from a bedtime story that Tynes told his daughter, about an old man living all alone in the vast, empty city of Carcosa. The Ambrose of the title is supposed to be Ambrose Bierce, the great American writer whose story "An Inhabitant of Carcosa" laid the groundwork for the entire Carcosa mythos, and who vanished without a trace in 1914. In keeping with Bierce's story, "Ambrose" presents Carcosa as a place of loneliness rather than horror.

First published in a limited edition chapbook by Armitage House, "Ambrose" has been reprinted several times. Its latest reprint is in the anthology "Rehearsals for Oblivion: Tales of the King in Yellow," edited by Peter A. Worthy and published by Dimensions Books.
