By the time I saw the sinners of Ryan Kugler last week, she felt like I was already in the back. The film seemed to attract the attention of moviegoers immediately after its release – though it did not come without a little strange disdain from certain retail outlets. However, the film is in the minds of everyone, with many people reporting that they see it two or three times in the theaters. Not surprisingly, this also means that there were a number of thought pieces and, yes, book lists. I tried to avoid this before seeing the movie so I could form my own opinion.

I have to say that even with its more extravagant and fantastic elements, I was able to get into a knowledge that I later realized that it was a courtesy of my southern education, even though I had not lived in the region for more than 10 years. I have collected a group of books that every relationship on the main topics and feelings SinnersS They are sometimes grotesque, festive, ancestors and spiritual – all cause south.

The Ballad of the Black Tom by Victor Lavalle

Tone, this novella meets the overall feeling of Sinners The best of all books on this list. This is a retelling of the existential horror history of HP Lovecraft The horror of Red HookAnd in many ways it is a recovery. Lovecraft was a racist racist (even for his time), who was influenced by blacks, just as he despised us, and it was somehow ironic (but perhaps just typical) that the same cosmic horror was known for being exploring exactly the same kind of existing extraordinary horror.

Fine Negro: Consumption of man and homoeroticism in American slave culture by Vincent Wuderd

At that time, even if you did not watch the movie, you may have assumed that vampires were used as a metaphor for (sometimes literal) consumption of ferrous bodies in the name of someone’s collective profit. These are not black, obviously. In the Woodard Lambda Award Book, the enslaved claims of people for consumption are trusting. It associates cannibalism, homoeroticism and consumption culture is always necessary to feed the beast, which is colonialism.
