The Ballad of Black Tom pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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?

评分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。

Okay, so modern authors have been kind of reclaiming "Lovecraftian fiction" as an inspiration, while still recognizing that Lovecraft himself was an asshole. This book is one such work: it's a Lovecraft-inspired novella, written by a black author and featur...
