Description

Lovecraft Country is the best example of a Black speculative fiction project thus far. It combines alternative history, time travel, Afrofuturism, horror, adventure, magic, sci-fi, fantasy, and thrills from a decidedly Black feminist point of view.  Ladies D and H are joined by Lady A to discuss one of the best series of the 2020s.
