August 4, 2022Leave a comment

Lovecraft Country is one of my favorite books. If I recall correctly, it was the first fantasy book I ever read, that took place in a world somewhat like our own, where the Black heroes got a happy ending.

Black Panther fed my spirit. I've always enjoyed superhero stories. I love science fiction and fantasy, and comic books almost always contain a little bit of both. I'll admit that before the movie came out, I didn't know much about Black Panther other than the fact that he existed. I watched the miniseries back in … Continue reading I want to live in Wakanda
