Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff

3.5

I feel like a traitor to the reading community saying this, but I liked the show better! The book certainly isn't bad, but there's more of a disjointed feeling, like every chapter is one of a series of interconnected short stories rather than readable segments of an intended whole. Maybe that was intentional, and maybe it works for other people, but I wasn't a huge fan. It's also a total sausage fest, and many of the events as they play out in the book have a certain smallness to them that I find disappointing. I don't know that I'll bother with the sequel I've heard is coming, or if I do it won't be for a while yet.
