The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle

dark mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? N/A

5.0

Devoured this book. Gimme more of LaVelle's takes on Lovecraft. The Horror at Red Hook is literally just a racist rant and LaVelle turned into a SUPER compelling, critically sharp novella that leaves plenty of space for readers to fill in the blanks.
