Now an HBO series from J. J. Abrams (executive producer of Westworld ), Misha Green (creator of Underground ), and Jordan Peele (director of Get Out and Us ), this brilliant and imaginative novel by critically acclaimed author Matt Ruff makes visceral the terrors of Jim Crow America, melding historical fiction, pulp noir, and Lovecraftian horror. Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, 22-year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George – publisher of  The Safe Negro Travel Guide – and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite – heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’ ancestors – they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours. A chimerical blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families,  Lovecraft Country  is a devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism – the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today. ©2021 Matt Ruff (P)2020 HarperAudio
