The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
4.0
4.5 stars.
Victor LaValle manages to take what's really great about Lovecraft's works and use this retelling to adapt the shittier parts into something amazing. Weird and frightening and oddly heartfelt, it definitely had me in the moment.
Definitely recommended. This is my first time reading LaValle but I look forward to reading more from him.
