Writer and friend of the show Remy Nakamura joins to
weigh in on the second half of Matt Ruff’s novel, his own
relationship to H. P. Lovecraft’s work, and shout out some other
amazing authors worth checking out if you want more
socially-conscious cosmic horror. In episode 156, Luke, James, and
Remy react to the conclusion of this uniquely American tale of
monsters, magic, and hate.
Chapters covered:
“Hippolyta Disturbs the Universe”
“Jeckyl in Hyde Park”
“The Narrow House”
“Horace and the Devil Doll”
“The Mark of Cain”
Topics: Remy’s introduction to Lovecraft’s purple prose, the Tulsa
Massacre appearing in fiction, obstacles preventing Black people
from pursuing astronomy in the 50s, Caleb Braithwhite’s need for
control, something fiction does better than film, a Mormonism
connection, and whether the book succeeds in its effort to tie
racism to cosmic horror.
Join them next week when Remy returns to discuss the
last five episodes of Lovecraft Country on HBO!
