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.

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
