A decade after its release, I finally finished, True Detective, Season 1. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever watched. I wanted more, to be honest, and when I’m not ready to leave certain vibes, I turn to books. I curated a reading list for myself (and you) based on the vibes, tropes, themes, and aesthetics of
Thank you for the list. I loved season 1 of True Detective! Looking forward to diving into this list. Would you recommend one to start with or your favorite? Also will you watch any more of True Detective?
Thank you! I will for sure skip right to S4, I’ve heard good things :) on this list, I absolutely loved The Devil All the Time, On the Savage Side, and The Boatman’s Daughter. Loved A God in the Shed too
LOVE THIS!!! Thank you so much for the list! And can totally vouch for WISE BLOOD and William Gay (though I haven't read PROVINCE, I'm nuts for his books TWILIGHT and THE LONG HOME, and his short "The Paperhanger", which I published in my PSYCHOS anthology)!
Thank you! That’s so cool—.id love to do a deep dive into his work. Have you read The Devil All the time? Man, I’d love to read everything I can get my hands on by that guy! Gritty, greasy, bleak as hell Southern Gothic is the best
Interesting list. I've read The King in Yellow and find it hard to believe that a TV cop show could have anything to do with it. I guess I'll have to watch the show one of these days. Thanks!
Thank you for the recommendations, again. I am adding them to my TBR. And I personally loved S4. I am a huge fan of Issa Lopez (she did the movie, Tigers are Not Afraid, which I LOVE) Not to mention Jodie Foster and Kali Reis are amazing! Hope you share what your thoughts on S4.

Love this list!!
I love this! One of my favorites as well. Thank you!
My pleasure!
All have been added to my TBR. Well, except for the King in Yellow, which I read when the first season first aired, but could stand a reread.
I definitely need to read it—first timer
It’s a trip.
HELL YES

You did it! What a list! With the new O'Connor movie, time to finally read Wise Blood. Thanks, Sadie.

We just finished it a couple weeks ago for the first time. All the Lovecraft stuff....!

omg for real. We watched 1 to prep for the new one with Jodi Foster.
