  In a future America that feels eerily controlled, prosperous, and quietly altered, Hildred Castaigne walks the streets of New York with a secret he believes will reshape the world. 
  Recovered from a past injury and newly filled with ambition, Hildred becomes obsessed with a forbidden book—The King in Yellow—a work whispered to corrupt the mind of any who read beyond its opening act. From that moment on, reality begins to shift. 
  Under the influence of the mysterious Mr. Wilde—a man who claims to repair reputations for a price—Hildred constructs an elaborate vision of power, destiny, and royal inheritance. As his plans unfold, the line between truth and delusion fractures, revealing a chilling descent into madness where logic bends, identities distort, and unseen forces seem to press in from beyond comprehension. 
  Set against a haunting vision of New York—complete with the unsettling presence of the government-sanctioned Lethal Chamber—Robert W. Chambers crafts a story that is both intimate and cosmic, psychological and prophetic. 
  The Repairer of Reputations is the opening tale in the infamous The King in Yellow, a collection that has captivated—and disturbed—readers for generations. 
  A quiet unraveling. 
  A mind in collapse. 
  A world that may not be what it seems.

  "A gorgeous, bloody, surreal nightmare" —Suzan Palumbo
  "Piper is a voice to be reckoned with." —Gabino Iglesias
  New Mexico Territory, 1882: She comes to the Klein ranch at sunset, a strange naked pregnant woman dragging a cavalry saber. Annette Klein and her husband have built peace between their marriage and secret relations beyond, but their serenity dies in bloodshed tonight through a cannibalistic demon and a mad preacher.
  Annette barely escapes the bloodbath to the nearby town of Low's Bend, where she might find safety with a shotgun-toting barkeep, two no-nonsense boarding room ladies, and the gunslinging bounty hunter who's captured Annette's heart.
  But hell is at her heels. If she's going to survive until dawn, she'll have to forget everything she knows about peace and mercy, and face a hollow malevolence more ancient and ruthless than she's ever imagined.
  "Cruel Angels Past Sundown is a gorgeous, bloody, surreal nightmare with a palpable, pulsing heart. Piper's innovative prose is tactile and immersive. It binds you to Annette's soul and the people of Low's Bend and makes you want to fight for them. By the end, I knew neither the wrath of heaven nor hell had any chance of breaking the bonds of queer love and found family. Long live queer horror in the face of those who would call us blasphemous. Thank you for this battle cry in the darkness. This book is a treasure." —Suzan Palumbo, Nebula Finalist
  "From its unforgettable opening to its furious, apocalyptic climax, Cruel Angels Past Sundown moves with the implacable dread of a nightmare. But the slashes it leaves in your gut, and the hardpan dust it rubs in the wounds, are all too real." —Nat Cassidy, author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror
