Lovecraft Country (Matt Ruff)
Picked up the book while looking for a change in style and content, so why not lovecraft-inspired horror. It doesn’t hurt that the book had a lot of good reviews.
First, let’s say that I did read some of Lovecraft’s books or novels or whatever and… meh, it never really clicked with me.
So, this book. It is… good ? I enjoyed reading it. I liked the stories, characters and overall atmosphere of it. I liked the story being told from the point of view of a black extended family in the 50s.
It definitely feels like the script of a Netflix serie.
Final word
But, I don’t know. Should I give it a note, things I usually don’t do, it would be solid 3 out of 5. It is solid. Just not 100% for me ?
Even with that, I will certainly buy the follow-up book at some point, especially after reading Cory Doctorow’s review this week
