Writer and friend of the show Remy Nakamura joins to weigh in on the second half of Matt Ruff\\u2019s novel, his own relationship to H. P. Lovecraft\\u2019s work, and shout out some other amazing authors worth checking out if you want more socially-conscious cosmic horror.

\\u201cThe Mark of Cain\\u201d

Topics: Remy\\u2019s introduction to Lovecraft\\u2019s purple prose, the Tulsa Massacre appearing in fiction, obstacles preventing Black people from pursuing astronomy in the 50s, Caleb Braithwhite\\u2019s need for control, something fiction does better than film, a Mormonism connection, and whether the book succeeds in its effort to tie racism to cosmic horror.
