Soon to be an HBO® Series from J.J. Abrams, Misha Green, and Jordan Peele, this critically acclaimed work melds historical fiction, pulp noir, and Lovecraftian horror. Set in Chicago in 1954, 22-year-old Army veteran Atticus Turner embarks on a road trip to New England to find his missing father, Montrose. He is joined by his Uncle George, publisher of The Safe Negro Travel Guide, and childhood friend Letitia. Their journey leads them to the manor of Mr. Braithwhite, heir to the estate that once owned one of Atticus’s ancestors. Along the way, they confront the harsh realities of white America and malevolent spirits reminiscent of the weird tales George loves. At the manor, Atticus discovers his father imprisoned by a secret cabal called the Order of the Ancient Dawn, led by Samuel Braithwhite and his son Caleb, who are orchestrating a ritual centered on Atticus. His potential salvation may also bring destruction to his family. This imaginative tale weaves together themes of magic, power, hope, and freedom, creating a devastating portrait of racism that continues to resonate today.
