Official Lovecraft Country Thread

[Ziggiy]

THIS. THIS. THIS. Saw the trailer on YouTube just now and it caught my interest with the actors I seen it (Courtney B. Vance, Michael K. Williams) and I was feeling the 50's setting mixed with Sci-Fi. I seen this show as untouched territory for black storytelling.... then I seen the name LOVECRAFT COUNTRY and I was like WTF

Lovecraft hated nikkas and now we got a show with his name on it starting prominent black talent. 2020 is a strange time brehs

To be fair, the book the show is based on uses the Lovecraft Country angle as a specific place where weird shyt happens to black people. Basically its a double entendre

I hope this actually gets really really Lovecraftian weird and its not some metaphorical/psychological bs. The only live action Lovecraftian movies appear to be low budget or so tame to not scare off viewers

You quote that post to ignore everything except the cat, so how is that proving your assertion to be true?
