Winter Tide by Ruthana Emyrs


Books


Winter Tide is my favorite of the new subgenre being critical/loving of Lovecraft while calling out his racist and sexist BS. It weaves several short stories together with historical events, but mostly deals with one woman, her found family, and her attempts at reconnecting with her lost heritage. The main character was a little girl when the government destroyed Innesmouth and put everyone in camps. The adults all died when the change came upon them. She and her brother are the last. There are parallels to Black Wall Street and to Japanese Internment. It's really good and I'm doing a bad job explaining.

Prequel novella "litany of stone" should be up on the tor website. Google is your friend.

Anyway, I'm mostly a lurker, but Tor is giving away free ebooks of the book itself(as opposed to prequel novella)until Friday ends so I'm spreading word. You have to sign up to their newsletter. Hard copies are expensive, I'm guessing this is to drive up amount of readers to get a chance at an award. It's good enough to win, though I don't know if enough people will read it.
