Chicago, 1954. When his father Montrose goes missing, 22-year-old 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. At the manor, Atticus discovers his father in chains, held prisoner by a secret cabal named the Order of the Ancient Dawn - led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb - which has gathered to orchestrate a ritual that shockingly centers on Atticus. And his one hope of salvation may be the seed of his - and the whole Turner clan's - destruction. An imaginative blend of magic, power, hope, and freedom that stretches across time, touching diverse members of two black families, Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country is a devastating kaleidoscopic portrait of racism - the terrifying specter that continues to haunt us today.

《恶魔之地》:一部反洛夫克拉夫特的黑人克苏鲁神话

“我知道那个白人,现在就像我们多年以来那样孤独。他现在已经无家可归,就像我们曾经有那么多年无家可归一样。现在一切都扯平了。我们可以在平等的基础上重新开始。”在《乾坤逆转》这部短篇小说中,雷•布拉德伯里虚构了一个“黑白颠倒”的世界,在理想化的“推翻重来”后... (展开)

这本书出版的意义远远大于克苏鲁宇宙

PUA虽可耻但有用,及其他读后感
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
首先解释一下这个抖机灵的标题:不能说是对书的读后感,更多是对某些对书的评论的感想才对。因为本书的主角及其亲友并没有被PUA到,反而是一堆中文评论在共情PUA失败的加勒布雷斯维特,怒骂主角及其亲友忘恩负义白眼狼,并用N word 上升到种族攻击。这情况倒是确实切合了本书主... (展开)
蒙特罗斯不要脸的神仙逻辑

打着“反洛”旗号实际上既不“反”也不“洛”

读恐怖小说也需要频率相同,这本就没有共振起来
这篇书评可能有关键情节透露
整体是一本人物有关联的小故事集,读的过程中会有惊奇,但是也有人物不通顺的感觉。以为是一个大boss,结尾就那样被流放,之后喊了一声我会回来的。像日本长篇动画篇的 每集经典结尾,作者这么写下午,这个故事可以出到100本。 当故事看也有点水土不服,前面几页可以慢慢读下去... (展开)> 更多书评 11篇
