Why read it?
1 author picked Southern Gods as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This debut novel is a delight to read for it not only blends detective fiction with Lovecraftian horror, it also weaves a spell filled with the Blues scene and the Southern gothic genre. An intriguing tale from start to finish, it features a war veteran turned detective hired to find missing a blues man. It takes place in the Jim Crow south of 1951, these times being a horror unto themselves. Rich with atmosphere and mystery, the scenes the author depicts are something else entirely.
From Glynn's list on crossing crime fiction and the Cthulhu Mythos.
