Holy crap! HBO's True Detective is going all Weird Tales on us!

This HBO original series starring Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson was already riviting viewing in the standard noir police proceedural way... but then in episode 2 they dropped references to the King In Yellow and Carcosa!

Then I sank into the depths, and I heard the King in Yellow whispering to my soul: 'It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!"'

Robert W. Chambers, In the Court Of the Dragon

 

Well I certainly didn't expect this! This coupled with the sense of cosmic nihilism that permates every scene should make this 'Must See TV' for fans of Lovecraftian Mythos styled fiction and the classic show MillemiuM.
