Lovecraft Country

I had trouble getting into this book at first. I didn’t like the writing. I thought it was pedestrian, lacking any emotional force. But as I continued on, I came to really love the characters and feel terrified for them by the supernatural and natural horrors in their lives. It probably didn’t help that I saw the mini-series before reading the book, so I had an expectation of the emotional impact it should have. But after the first story, any qualms I had over the prose dissipated and I could enjoy the stories.
