Just wondering if anybody else here knew someone who read True Detective magazine way back when.
Growing up in the south, I did know a couple of friend's dad's who did.
Never did really pick one up myself and I would guess that , given the lurid cover art, my buddies mom's wouldn't have allowed it.
It seemed like most of those dad's had some kind of chip on their shoulders. One in particular was a short, nasty piece of work that was employed at the state Pen. At the dinner table he did a lot of bragging about kicking lots of ass and using the 12 gage pump that sat in the corner of their kitchen.
I have a feeling he was probably something like a cook or someone who never saw any action.
Not to say that the series is anything like the contents of the magazine (although, since I never read one, I can't say).
It does seem to be inspired by the feelings that the era and subculture evokes in me.
Can't wait to see where it ends up!
