What a stunning book!
I really enjoyed the way the supernatural and Lovecraftian creepinness were woven in with the deeply racist society of the late 40ies US in this book. Particularly genius: All the truly scary creatures in this book are human.

Before starting this book, I did not realize this was actually a collection of stories that at the start only seem to be fairly loosely connected, but then become more and more entangled. Great format!

Emphatic recommendation!
