I love this book. I have a a music project thats based on the themes around this particular book, and the metafiction inside the stories in this book.

Such a fascinating book. I remember first reading it because of True Detective season 1. I was pretty into Lovecraft at the time. The first short story is still great

How is it related to TD1 was it the inspiration for the yellow king and carcosa?

The book title plus the year of publication (1895) should hint at it a bit.

Yes.

For anyone who wants to read it, (the first three stories are quite good). https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/robert-w-chambers/the-king...

I really like this book actually, not sure why but I do keep going back to it too. Also there are strong references to it and the sentiments of it in a video game called Signalis actually. It can be a bit of a hard read though sometimes too I find.

I also knew this book from Signalis which is now one of my favorite. I also made a copy of this book[0] based on the in-game one.
