The New York Times bestselling book behind the HBO Series from J.J. Abrams, Misha Green and Jordan Peele (Director of Get Out).
A blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families, Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country is a devastating portrait of racism - the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today.
Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, twenty-two 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 they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.
'At every turn, Ruff has great fun pitting mid-twentieth-century horror and sci-fi clichs against the banal and ever present bigotry of the era' - New York Times Book Review.
