The Repairer of Reputations:
So I re-watched True Detective Season 1 and I was like fine I'll read The King in Yellow and the first short story of the collection was astounding. This "alternative" America and its political structure is demented but grand. Hildred’s unreliable perspective is incredibly engaging and his destructive pursuit of forbidden knowledge is terrifying in a strange way.
