Lovecraft Country

I had this idea to spend October reading romance books as my own little protest against “spooky season”, primarily because I'm not really interested in horror.

But then, this was on my shelf...

In the end it didn't feel very “horror-y”, but then I'm not an experienced horror reader. The part of the book that seemed most important to me was the fact that the main characters are African American in the 1950's. The portrayal of how they were treated by white people, including authorities, was the scariest part of the book, as well as absolutely infuriating.
