Description

A devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism, Lovecraft Country is a blend of magic, power, hope and freedom that stretches across time. In 1954, Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find his missing father, accompanied by his Uncle George and childhood friend Letitia. Their journey takes them to the manor of Mr Braithwhite, where they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours. As Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal, he must confront the shocking ritual that centres on himself. At every turn, Matt Ruff pits mid-twentieth-century horror and sci-fi clichés against the banal bigotry of the era, creating a gripping narrative that explores the horrors of racism.
