Caved further and read an interview with the writer. A very good sign: he's not a nihilist of any stripe but a self-described "beleaguered romantic." So Cohle presumably will be undermined - on some level. Thus there's more to try to figure out - and there really might be a nihilist element to the Yellow King business, explaining why Cohle was recognized as some kind of part of the dealers' world, a priest or demon.

must seek this out sometime (i am out of the the Cable loop ..)

(ha! sometimes i think .. all the best "nihilists" are beleaguered romantics! .. am reminded of some commentary by a self.described Old Catholic: Those who say they are a "traditionalist" are more or less post-postmodern iconoclast reactionaries. [ at last, someone "gets" - at least *this* aspect - of Foucault / see also: "Bored jazzbos pretending to rock" .. ascribed to either the Mothers of Invention or Steely Dan [ in the case of the latter, Donald Fagen would likely declare: "at last someone gets us !" ]).
