Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff

3.5

Theoretically, I really like cosmic horror and that sort of stuff. In reality, it's a bit hit or miss for me. I do really like the concept of Lovecraft Country (and I'm sure that had I actually been acquainted with Lovecraft, I would've gained more meaning from the stories) and I liked the characters, but something just didn't completely click for me. I think due to the format of the book (sort of like an anthology that has an overarching plot), I didn't feel as connected to the characters as I'd like. Like after the first two stories, I sometimes just forgot about Atticus. Could also just be me.
