Welcome to Litsy!

This is the composite image of the cover art by JaeHoon Choi for the eight books in the Korean horror series, Lovecraft Reanimated, three of which have been translated into English, and I hope more of them will be despite a bit of unevenness in the current offerings.
The top right cover with the image of an Elder Thing from HPL's "At the Mountains of Madness" looks especially intriguing!

While Lovecraft became a problematic writer, he was at the top of weird fiction lists. I also learned the word phantasmagorical from him.

It might be chilly and raining at Jellystone today but that is not going to stop me from enjoying fresh squeezed ice cold lemonade and reading on the cabin deck. The sound of the rain and thunder just add some atmosphere to the story. My son is having fun playing in the rain while I stay dry undercover. (My husband is napping…lol)

A horror/science fiction about two Black families mapping safe routes for Black motorists in 1950s America (think The Green Book) and encountering the monsters (both the human and the Lovecraftian supernatural) dotting the backroads.

4.2⭐️ it‘s listed as horror, but it doesn‘t feel like horror. Let me rephrase that, it feels more like lovecraftian horror. I also feel like the plot needs to be tightened up a little bit on this one, but I really enjoy the writing style in general, despite it being occasionally jumbled. Based on the characters in this book, the jumbled writing actually connected well though. I liked it a lot… Enough to immediately go buy a book 2.

A story that blends the terrors of Jim Crow America and Lovecraftian horror with a little bit of history, occult, and fantasy thrown in.

This is such a good book. The writing and story are fantastic. I love how bookish some of the characters are. Highly recommend.

Now THAT is what I wanted out of a Halloween read. As I gather this is a response to the racism rampant in an HP Lovecraft novella, it's not a surprise that there are strong themes of racism, xenophobia, alienation and the abuse of power. 1/?

Starting next.

In “The Call of Cthulhu“, H. P. Lovecraft describes a statue of Cthulhu as: “A monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind.“
