Or is it?Īccompanied by his uncle George, publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide, and his friend Letitia, Atticus sets out on a cross-country journey that leads to the estate of Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb, whose family once owned one of Atticus’s ancestors. The only clue to his whereabouts is a letter in which Montrose claims to have uncovered a mysterious family legacy in Arkham, Massachusetts-a town that Atticus, a fan of weird tales, knows is fictional. Just ask Korean War veteran Atticus Turner, who returns home to Chicago in the summer of 1954 to find that his father, Montrose, has gone missing.
But rest assured, should you end up in Lovecraft Country-you’ll know it. You’ll look in vain for references to it in any book of travel. It has no fixed geographical coordinates, and you can’t measure the distance to it, even in Jim Crow Miles.
Lovecraft Country… You won’t find it on any map. Dust jacket and interior illustrations by David Palumbo.
