书籍介绍
People move to New York looking for magic and nothing will convince them it isn't there.
Charles Thomas Tester hustles to put food on the table, keep the roof over his father's head, from Harlem to Flushing Meadows to Red Hook. He knows what magic a suit can cast, the invisibility a guitar case can provide, and the curse written on his skin that attracts the eye of wealthy white folks and their cops. But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic, and earns the attention of things best left sleeping.
A storm that might swallow the world is building in Brooklyn. Will Black Tom live to see it break?

本身三星但真实美国种族冲突歧视黑人视角诠释加一星，对Lovevraft这种骨子里白人至上排外主义的作家作品，很好的再解读。
对Lovecraft种族偏见的反击，也止步于反击，于类型写作毫无推进。
大概是因为之前看过Lovecraft Country，就觉得这个故事其实并没有特别惊人的地方。而且因为是中篇的缘故，感觉很多情节铺垫不足，也没有太多延伸；人物发展写的也很生硬。不知道怎么就得奖了呢。
apparently this is a hp lovecraft retelling. and i’ve read...none of them..so that may be why i didn’t enjoy it
Fascinating！从现实到魔幻的切换衔接极其自然。虽然知道是horror/fantasy但还是被吓到了，不是被The Sleeping King而是when he was stopped by two white male, when he was followed by three white kids, when he was on the train constantly disturbed by white people。
