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.
