I had added Lovecraft Country to my reading list after having watched the HBO show. I found the juxtaposition of the horrors of racism with supernatural horrors fascinating and thought provoking. The book did seem to not lean as heavily into some of the horror/supernatural elements as originally anticipated, but that did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the book.
