Horror aficionados, join us in the Modesto Library conference room to discuss horror books.
This month, we will discuss Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff.
Summary: Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied by his Uncle George-- publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide-- and his childhood friend Letitia. On their journey to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite, heir to the estate that owned one of Atticus’s ancestors, they encounter both mundane terrors of white America and malevolent spirits that seem straight out of the weird tales George devours.
