500 "P.S. insights, interviews & more ..."--Back cover
520 "The critically acclaimed cult novelist makes visceral the
terrors of life in Jim Crow America and its lingering
effects in this brilliant and wondrous work of the
imagination that melds historical fiction, pulp noir, and
Lovecraftian horror and fantasy. 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. At the manor, Atticus
discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret
cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn -- led by Samuel
Braithwhite and his son Caleb -- which has gathered to
orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus.
And his one hope of salvation may be the seed of his --
and the whole Turner clan's -- destruction. 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."--|cAmazon.com
