True Detective plagiarized?

[rich]

Ligotti's OK. Not sure I buy the modern heir to HPL line but he was
readable along withe the likes of TED Klein, Dennis Etchison, Charles L
Grant, etc. I loved these guys growing up though only Robert Aickman has
stuck with me through the years. A handful of stories but what great things
they are. Very British unlike the above dudes. And very un lovecraft-like.
Very subtle strange unease.

I'm reading ST Joshi's mammoth Lovecraft bio. The life is intriguing me
more than the work
