I found True Detective too boring and pretentious to watch past the first half of the first episode (and do we need another serial killer leaving women’s corpses with antlers? It was just done in Hannibal; is this a thing now?), but I’ve always been a big fan of the book, since I was a kid in the 60s and obsessed with the Cthulhu mythos. The book was given to me by a relation of his (nephew? grandson? something), Bill Chambers, who was a Stage Manager in New York, and a friend of my mother’s. He saw my falling-apart Armed Services Edition of Lovecraft, and gave me the King in Yellow. Fantastic. I’m glad to see it get more attention.
