Read ‘Loving Day’ By Mat Johnson

ESSENCE Books editor Patrik Henry Bass writes:

In Loving Day, we meet biracial Warren Duffy, who has returned to Philadelphia after his marriage to a Welsh woman unravels, his comic shop in Cardiff, Wales, goes out of business and his Irish-American father dies. It’s hardly grist for a funny novel, but once Warren moves into what he believes is a haunted mansion, all hell breaks loose. You will marvel at the finesse with which Johnson handles this story.
