I've been reading some Lovecraft recently (insert Cthulhu smiley), and through that I discovered Robert W. Chambers's bizarre and fascinating "The King in Yellow". Basically what it is is a series of short stories, linked together by the existence of the fictitious play "The King in Yellow" that drives mad or otherwise causes the decadence of anyone who reads it. The play doesn't actually exist, but supposed excerpts are provided near the beginning of each short story.

Here is a link: http://www.sff.net/people/DoyleMacdonald/l_kiy.htm

I recommend "The Yellow Sign" in particular, though I've read the first four stories and they're all quite good.
