Lovecraft Country. TV Tie-Im Tv Tie-In

On the search for his missing father Atticus Turner finds himself entangled within supernatural and occult occurrences. He and his family stand face to face with power hungry wizards, otherworldly beings, haunting curses and worst of all: the omnipresent racism of America during the 1960s. This book tells multiple stories with different members of Atticus’ family but they all belong to a bigger picture that slowly unravels itself. Although the stories have a fair number of horrific scenes it truly frightens in its casual tone while retelling everyday life for African Americans during this time. It is truly frightening what was deemed normal and the amount of casual, everyday racism all the African Americans had to endure. I really enjoyed reading Lovecraft Country and can only recommend it to everyone who enjoys stories of eldritch terrors and is not afraid to dive into the darker parts of the American way of life during the 60s.
