![]() ![]() (NOTE: There may be mild spoilers for Lovecraft Country. There is an overarching narrative at play, but each story stands alone while being wholly entertaining, quite frightening, and extremely poignant. Reading Lovecraft Country is like watching a season of a great show contains elements of serialized and episodic storytelling. ![]() In light of the imminent premiere of HBO’s adaptation of the book, it seemed exactly the right time to finally read it. But I just never got around to reading the book. In Lovecraft Country’s case, that was prioritizing the stories of Black Americans by placing Black characters as the leads in various genres that have often underserved them. I love revisionist takes on old genres, especially ones that bring something new to the table. Lovecraft Country was one of those books I always meant to read but never got around to doing so. ![]()
