comadivine11 's review for:

The King in Yellow by Robert W. Chambers
4.0

First and foremost, if you are checking this book out to read more about Rust and True Detective, you will be disappointed. This book shares no common story with show. The 1 star reviews of this book for the above reasons make me laugh. These short stories were published in 1895 and True Detective references some aspects as the source of the killer's cult.

However, if you are looking for early American horror in the vein of Lovecraft then you might just be delighted. These short stories are a bit bizarre but they do have some good horror elements. I enjoyed reading this short collection.
