"The Yellow Sign" – An artist is troubled by a sinister churchyard watchman who resembles a coffin worm. "The Demoiselle d'Ys" – A ghost story. "The Prophets' Paradise" – A sequence of eerie prose poems that develop the style and theme of a quote from the fictional play The King in Yellow which introduces "The Mask". "The Street of the Four Winds" – An atmospheric tale of an artist in Paris who is drawn to a neighbor's room by a cat; the story ends with a macabre touch. "The Street of the First Shell" – A war story set in the Paris Siege of 1870. "The Street of Our Lady of the Fields" – Romantic American bohemians in Paris. "Rue Barrée" – Romantic American bohemians in Paris, with a discordant ending that playfully reflects some of the tone of the first story.
