芝加哥，1954年。当父亲 Montrose 失踪后，22岁的退伍军人 Atticus Turner 踏上了前往新英格兰寻父的公路之旅，同行的还有他的叔叔 George——The Safe Negro Travel Guide 的出版人，以及他的儿时好友 Letitia。在前往布雷斯韦特先生（Mr. Braithwhite，曾奴役 Atticus 一位先祖的庄园继承人）的庄园途中，他们不仅遭遇了美国白人社会的日常恐怖，还撞见了仿佛直接出自 George 痴迷的诡异故事中的邪恶怨灵。在庄园里，Atticus 发现父亲身陷锁链，被一个名为 Order of…… 的秘密结社囚禁。

这比起科幻更偏向洛夫克拉夫特式恐怖（Lovecraftian Horror），但我非常喜欢 Matt Ruff 的《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》（Lovecraft Country）。它一方面满足了你对这种题材的期待，另一方面又探讨了 1950 年代黑人在美国的处境有多么糟糕。https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25109947-lovecraft-count... 特德·姜的《Stories of…
This is a little more Lovecraftian Horror than science fiction, but I loved Matt Ruff's "Lovecraft Country". Equal parts what you'd expect, with an exploration of how shitty America was for black people in the 1950s. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25109947-lovecraft-count... Ted Chiang's "Stories of…
……档案）——同事强烈安利的一部冷门佳作，我敢肯定它迟早会被拍成电影。- 《Underground Airlines》（背景是现代，但南北战争从未发生过）- 《The Nightmare Stacks》（洗衣房档案系列小说）- 《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》（Lovecraft Country）。我读过的书远不止列出的这些，但这几本是比较值得一提的。我每两三天就读一本书。看了好多军队打怪小说、丧尸末日通俗读物、硬汉冒险小说……
…Files) - a sleeper recommendation by a coworker that I KNOW will end up as a movie. - Underground Airlines (Modern day, but the Civil War never happened) - The Nightmare Stacks (A Laundry Files Novel) - Lovecraft Country I read a LOT more than what's listed here, but these are the noteworthy ones. I read a book every couple of days. Lots of military monster-hunting fiction, zombie apocalypse pulp, manly adventure novels,…
……坏人有时也能创造出伟大的艺术，明白我们不必（或许也不该）把艺术家偶像化，并且在欣赏他们的作品时要保持细致入微的视角。从这个角度来说，我很喜欢前阵子读的《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》（Lovecraft Country），它既探讨了种族主义的恐怖，又融入了克苏鲁神话风格的主题。Scott Adams 创作了《呆伯特》（Dilbert）。在 90 年代我觉得它棒极了。到了 00 年代我就不再关注了，然后……
…people sometimes create great art, to understand we don't have to (probably shouldn't) make idols of artists, and to be nuanced in our appreciation of their output. In this vein I did enjoy reading "Lovecraft Country" a while ago, which both explored the horror of racism and embraced mythos-style themes. Scott Adams gave us Dilbert. In the 90s I found it amazing. By the 00s I'd stopped paying attention, and then…
……种族化特征。这是否意味着所有人都不能再看克苏鲁了？我觉得这也不是个好答案，但我同样不认为大家应该在无知盲目的状态下消费艺术。（顺便说一句，几年前读《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》时我很享受）
…racialised features. Does this mean no Cthulu for anyone? I don't believe that's a good answer either, but I also don't believe one should consume the art in ignorance. (And I very much enjoyed reading Lovecraft Country a few years back)
Matt Ruff 的《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》（Lovecraft Country），这本书引出了 James W. Loewen 写的非虚构作品《落日之镇》（Sundown Towns）。我正在读后者，简直大受震撼。我之前对美国种族主义历史的认知基本上就是……
Matt Ruff's Lovecraft Country, which led me to the non-fiction book Sundown Towns by James W. Loewen. I'm reading the latter right now and blowing my mind. My understanding of the American history of racism was basically that it…
这个帖子让我想起了 Matt Ruff 即将出版的新书（他写过《Sewer, Gas & Electric》、《Set This House in Order》、《Fool on the Hill》），书名叫《洛夫克拉夫特之乡》（Lovecraft Country）。来自作者网站上的简介：“1954年的芝加哥。二十二岁的陆军退伍军人 Atticus Turner 在父亲失踪后，踏上了前往新英格兰寻父的公路之旅，随行的还有……
This post reminded me of the upcoming book by Matt Ruff ("Sewer, Gas & Electric", "Set This House in Order", "Fool on the Hill") titled "Lovecraft Country". From the description on the author's website: "Chicago, 1954. When his father goes missing, twenty-two-year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find him, accompanied…
