Literature on TV

So, for those who might have previously been unable to find a way to watch the hit TV show, True Detective is one of the most fascinating shows to pop onto many people's TV radars in some time. While the quality of the acting and the story is unbelievably good, one of the most interesting elements of the story is that it is playing rather broadly with literature. What kind of literature? Weird Literature, the kind that created the foundation for some of the best American horror stories of their time.
