The cat so fast he's a streak 
Since a copy of the King in Yellow plays a roll in Signalis I've started reading it. The Repairer of Reputations is a pretty freaky story and I like how the high concepts of the play with space kings and strange sigils contrast with the banal life of the main character. The yellow sigil stuff reminded me of the anti life equation from the Fourth World. Oh and the 1920s future shown here is a chud's paradise with all blacks in a black ethnostate, no jews, no immigrants, and suicide booths.

Establishing racial equality while banishing the Jews seems unrealistic but it's actually the exact bs our government would pull

The king in yellow is weird, because it starts as this strange cosmic horror type fiction then just turns into a poorly written war story and the only common theme throughout most of the stories was some district poor artists live in in France. Excluding the repairer of reputations obviously.
The whole alternate timeline with vague mentions of geopolitics was interesting.
Also, he writes everyone like they're half r-slurred.

It’s because chambers didn’t actually like writing horror and preferred historical fiction and romance, so most of his later work is that

If you're too lazy to read prose, and who isnt, I N J Culbard has a great comic book adaptation of The King in Yellow, which includes Repairer.
He also does the best comic adaptations of H P Lovecraft, another writer with a pretty eccentric writing style.

I think this was the origin of suicide booths, which would later feature in Futurama, which is the greatest adult animation of all time and if you disagree your brain is irreparably broken and you should be in a home.
