In this brief episode, Blake Collier and Matt Ruff talk about how Matt got the idea for his 2016 novel, Lovecraft Country, and what the process of working with Misha Green (Underground), Jordan Peele (Get Out, Us), and J.J. Abrams (Star Wars: Episodes 7 & 9) on the HBO adaptation of the book was like, especially since the book had originally been a television pitch back in 2007!
