Lovecraft Country (Part 1)

We don’t necessarily need to seek out literature to fill us with a creeping sense of existential dread, seeing as how we have… everything else happening right now. But there is something to be said for using horror to reclaim power. This week, we’re starting up a discussion of Lovecraft Country by Matt Ruff, now a series on HBO premiering August 17th. We’ll talk about the terrifying monsters hiding in the woods AND the ones right out in the open.Follow us on Twitter!<a href="https://twitter.com/DanaSchwartzzz">@DanaSchwartzzz</a><a href="https://twitter.com/JenAshleyWright">@JenAshleyWright</a><a href="https://twitter.com/koramadrama">@koramadrama</a><a href="https://twitter.com/melissaFTW">@MelissaFTW</a>and Tien has wisely gotten off Twitter but is on Insta <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hanktina/">@hanktina</a> Learn more about your ad-choices at <a href="https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com">https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

A group of smart, funny friends meet together every week to talk about the book they’re reading—a book that just so happens to be incredibly buzzy and in the zeitgeist because it has an adaptation coming up on the big screen or via streaming. Because when everyone at work is talking about it, we want to be the smug ones who can say we actually read the book first. Hosted by Dana Schwartz, Jennifer Wright, Korama Danquah, Melissa Hunter, and Tien Tran. New episodes every Monday!
