Ep. 2: Daniel José Older's Half-Resurrection Blues

Novelist Daniel José Older grew up devouring the sci-fi horror classics of HP Lovecraft. But as a mixed-race kid, Older was torn between fandom for Lovecraft's stories, and resentment over the way people of color and immigrants were so often portrayed. In this episode, Older introduces us to his Brooklyn neighborhood - the setting for Half-Resurrection Blues, and a community of paranormal fans who are reinventing the genre.
