This book was awesome. Lovecraftian horror infects two families in Chicago during 1950s Jim Crow era. Tentacled rock monsters, a secret cult society of alchemists, mechanical clockwork space machinery, ghost mansions, demon dolls, and those aren't even the really scary parts. Set up as a collection of interrelated short stories, it makes for a really fun yet thought-provoking read. Also, I hear it is being turned into an HBO series soon!
Fun, social-commentary filled horror.
