Jurnee Smollett and Jonathan Majors in Lovecraft Country (2020)

FAQ

Lovecraft Country

FAQ



    Yes and no, because the novel of the same name it's based on makes significant references to Lovecraft. The Novel is a commentary on what is wrong with Lovecraft's work in the eyes of the writer Matt Ruff. It is vaguely set in the same universe but it isn't written in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.

    The series contains obvious references to Cthullu Mythos entities, artefacts, and technologies. Lovecraft fans will recognise many of the plot threads as parallels of his work, and will see many of the problematic aspects of his work, in particular outright racism and "othering", being used as core themes and imperatives for character arcs/development, examining them in a way that is both sensitive to the issues and genuinely grounded in historical context, without being dismissive of the impact of Lovecraft on the horror/fantasy and cosmic horror/sc-fi genres.



    No, she's an original character with a coincidental same last name as Dorothy Dandridge.
