I LOVED the King in Yellow's season of True Detective.

I think the first story, the Repairer of Reputations, was definitely the star of the book. Some of the other stories (the Mask) being a classic example, could be a bit maudlin.

I think the King in Yellow should be on every horror author's book shelf.

Totally agree my friend! True Detective series one will be something I go back to many more times.

The Repairer of Reputations is definitely the best. It's impressive what he achieved in that story. I love the slow progress and uneasy atmosphere.

Absolutely. I really like that decadence style and the transition from the artists normal lives to the horror of each story
