Thomas Ligotti reference in The View from Halfway Down
Almost finished with my 4th rewatch and only just now caught what I think is a reference to Thomas Ligotti’s book ‘The Conspiracy Against the Human Race’, a philosophically pessimistic, nihilistic, and anti-natalist book.
I think the show-runners were fans of True Detective (judging from the intro song of Philbert which seemed to be a parody of TD Season 1’s intro song) and TCAtHR was a major influence for TD s1.
Curious if anyone agrees or thinks I’m reading too much into it.
