Lovecraft Country is the new supernatural horror drama from HBO, the same network that delivered last year’s critically acclaimed Watchmen. This story is about a young black man, along with his uncle and childhood friend, embarking on a road trip across 1950s Jim Crow America in search of his missing father. Their journey is fraught with peril as they struggle to survive and overcome monsters both figurative and literal while navigating the racist terrors of the landscape. Lovecraft Country Companion is a new podcast coming soon to your favorite podcast directory. Join me each week as we unpack the latest episode with colorful commentary and amusing insights. A few laughs, a bit of horror and suspense, without all the pretense… --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/lovecraftcountrycompanion/message
