# ["Lovecraft Country (2016)" by Matt Ruff"](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30795536-lovecraft-country)

I was a bit skeptical at first, but the book grew on me. The book focuses on a black family living around Chicago in the 40's and they get caught up in the schemes of a group of Lovecraftian warlocks that is operating in the area.

A lot of the book focus on the racial segregation and the awful stuff the Jim Crow years brought upon the USA, but it goes beyond racial tensions to tell and interesting and intricate plot by the Braithwhite warlocks and their "natural philosophy" lodges to gain power on an incresingly complex society.

If you like Lovecraft and horror magic type stories you should read it, and you should read it to feel ashamed that humans managed to be so evil to a part of it's own kind.

## Narrator
Kevin Kenerly does a good job narrating the book and manage to create some different voices for the characters, but it's just ok.
