Obsessed With Lovecraft Country? Here Are 15 Books That Are Just as Thought-Provoking

A classic ghost story with a contemporary, innovative streak, White Tears recalls Lovecraft Country through its deep, painful analysis on American racism. Seth and Carter share an obsession with music, especially 1920s blues recordings. Seth accidentally records a singer in the park, and Carter uploads it online, claiming it's a 1920s recording by a fictional singer named Charlie Shaw. However, a collector tells them their recording is genuine, and that Charlie Shaw actually existed, which pushes both of them into America's dark history with racism, and the question of who owns art and who profits from it.
