In "The Street of the Lady of the Fields," horror writer Robert Chambers takes a more romantic approach to his work. The story follows an American student in Paris who falls in with a group of peers and the women who associate with them. As he begins to fall for one of the girls, she worries he will discover an unsavory secret about her life. This story also breaks away from the Yellow Mythos theme present throughout The King in Yellow, serving as a stand-alone story from the collection.
