A modern nightmare paired with its classic source

Ed Park’s contemporary cosmic-horror story follows Sid Feelings, a children’s entertainer whose career is derailed when a stranger with the same name commits a heinous crime. Seeking help from a mysterious reputation specialist, Sid enters a scenario the description places at the meeting point of slashers and cyberspace. The flip-volume format pairs Park’s story with Robert W. Chambers’s earlier “The Repairer of Reputations,” identified as its inspiration. Full-color endpapers and interior illustrations by Jeff Wong make the book’s physical design part of the presentation, alongside the two connected works.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary cosmic horror and horror involving cyberspace.
  • Readers who want to encounter a modern story alongside the classic that inspired it.
  • Readers drawn to illustrated hardcover editions and flip-volume formats.

Book overview

In this lavishly illustrated flip volume hardcover, Pulitzer Prize finalist Ed Park presents a new tale of contemporary cosmic horror on one side, with his inspiration from Robert W. Chambers's horror classic The King in Yellow printed on the other.

Designed and illustrated by Jeff Wong, the award-winning artist of Weird Tales magazine, this objet features a flip volume dual-sided cover, illustrated full-color endpapers, and interior art.

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

On the flip side of this gorgeously illustrated volume, Park presents the horror classic that inspired him: Robert W. Chambers's "The Repairer of Reputations," the groundbreaking tale of paranoia and obsession that launched The King in Yellow.
