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’s 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.

This has now become one of my favorite listens! Considering I have nearly 900 audiobooks, this is high praise! It definitely hits home hearing how bad it was during my grandparents’ lifetimes, however it made the book very real to me considering it involves magic.

Absolutely AmaIng!

Although I was initially introduced to the title when it came on HBO as a series, I loved hearing the original story as an audiobook and am so glad that I purchased it. I definitely recommend this novel!

Loved this!!!

But, the jump into 2 separate stories was a tad confusing. Had it not been for the show, to give me the visual guide of the story of Hipoletta and the son, the story would have lost me.

Loved it! BUT

A big fan of this world can’t wait to listen to the sequel I also enjoyed this ending a lot more than the tv series.

the narrator was excellent. he made each character pop. I liked it a lot better than the series. the series was good but as usual the book with the book is better. I like that it was like three or four short stories but actually it wasn't because it was a continuation in the relationships. I would definitely be recommending this book to others.

On so many levels and what an eye opener to the American Black experience. Well- read and written. Gave me nightmares and I've been reading horror for 40+ years!
