Today’s New York Times has an article about Victor H. Green and The Negro Motorist Green Book, the Jim Crow-era travel guide to black-friendly businesses that served as inspiration for my short story “Safe Negro Travel Guide.” I still think it’s a great hook, so maybe I’ll take another crack at Lovecraft Country once I’m done with The Mirage. In the meantime, author Calvin Alexander Ramsey has written both a children’s book and a forthcoming play on the subject.
