Review: Relates to True Detective
Rating: 3 out of 5

I read this solely because of the reference to The Yellow King in the True Detective series. I can say that in the story called The Repairer of Reputations, the character of Mr.Wilde was described as having yellow skin with fake pink ears. That was the police sketch in the HBO series. Also, it was based on a cult group of insane people believing they were going to take over the world, with the King in Yellow as it's ruler.  The book leans more to the supernatural with the other 3 stories, but it was based around the church.  I probably enjoyed the first 4 stories, for the most part because I was trying to connect them to the TV series. Kinda hard for me to do, without really putting a lot of thought in to it. So, if you did enjoy HBO's series, you might want to read this also. It's free so nothing lost.
