The Repairer of Reputations

Sid Feelings, a successful children’s entertainer, is trapped in a modern nightmare. She’s canceled when a man with whom she shares a name commits a heinous crime. The trouble is only beginning when she hires a mysterious specialist to salvage what’s left of her career.

Park presents the horror classic that inspired him: Robert W. Chambers’s “The Repairer of Reputations,” the tale of paranoia and obsession that launched The King in Yellow.

Pulitzer Prize finalist Ed Park’s “The Repairer of Reputations” offers an all-too-real hellscape at the intersection of slashers and cyberspace.
