This book’s now an HBO show (brought to you by Jordan Peele), and though I haven't seen it, I can see why it was picked up. It's a series of interconnected stories about oppressive White America in the 1950s, with several supernatural elements baked into the plot masterfully. These different stories have something for everyone, there's a road trip, plenty of wild adventures, and a haunted house. It’s a historical/science/pulp fiction book that dabbles in elements of horror and is crafted in a perfectly realistic way.
