    About this audiobook

    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 William Chambers (1865-1933) was a Brooklyn-born artist and writer best known for producing supernatural, horror and weird tales. He published his first novel, In the Quarter in 1894 but didn’t receive major recognition until 1895 with a collection of short stories called The King in Yellow. Despite entries in other genres, such as romance and historical fiction, Chambers’ most acclaimed works were Gothic in nature. His eerie tales would go on to inspire a generation of writers including H.P. Lovecraft.
