I love the works of Lovecraft, but I love works that draw from lovecraftian mythos a lot more because they can use the good parts and cut out the racism and misogyny. Lovecraft Country, however, takes the idea one step further. Instead of ignoring or excusing the problems, it leans into them to show how much scarier they are than any tentacled horror. It's a brilliant book, and really does a great job as both historical and supernatural fiction.
