Edmond Castagne is the Imperial Heir, banished from his own realm, confined to exile. But the sudden visit of a stranger from America might mean his triumphant return to the throne... or his  ultimate fall. 

This short story was meant as a sequel to the famous "Repairer of Reputations" tale from "The King in Yellow" by Robert W. Chambers, which now is part of the Cthulhu Mythos. It was originally published at the Non Binary Review e-zine in 2015. It does not require the previous reading of that tale, but the experience might feel more complete.

But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of.
