Lovecraft Country

A Novel

De: Matt Ruff

Narrado por: Kevin Kenerly

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.

Absolutely AmaIng!

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.

Loved this!!!

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!

I love the story telling

it was absolutely a great listen except for one chapter in the middle was super boring ans slow but after that it picked right up

excellent

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.

Loved everything

Creative storytelling with engaging characters. I also loved the format of the chapters with character development. Highly recommend! Great narration too.
