ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Lovecraft Country” by Matt Ruff blends historical racism with elements of cosmic horror. Set in 1950s America, the story follows Atticus Turner as he embarks on a road trip to find his missing father. Along the way, Atticus and his companions, George and Letitia, encounter both the harsh realities of racial segregation and supernatural forces tied to an ancient family legacy. The novel explores themes of heritage, power, and resistance, weaving together personal struggles against systemic oppression with chilling encounters with dark magic and occult practices, ultimately questioning the boundaries between reality and the supernatural.
