The Repairer of Reputations

Written by Robert W. Chambers

Narrated by George Keller

This story, first published in 1855, takes place in 1920’s New York City. Chambers creates a utopian future in which America holds colonial power and government-assisted suicide is legal. The story follows Hildred Castaigne, a young man who spent time in a mental asylum following a head injury, and Mr. Wilde, the eponymous “Repairer of Reputations.” Horror and conspiracy work together in this gripping tale featuring a classic example of the unreliable narrator.

Robert W. Chambers

Robert W. Chambers was an American novelist and short story writer. His most famous, and perhaps most meritorious, effort is The King in Yellow, a collection of Art Nouveau short stories published in 1895. E. F. Bleiler described The King in Yellow as one of the most important works of American supernatural fiction. It was also strongly admired by H.P. Lovecraft and his circle, and has inspired many modern authors, including Karl Edward Wagner, Joseph S. Pulver, Lin Carter, James Blish, Nic Pizzolatto, Michael Cisco, Ann K. Schwader, Robert M. Price, Galad Elflandsson and Charles Stross.
