I'm a big fan of the movies and I've know for a while that the character is based off a series of books, but I've never gotten around to actually picking any of them up.

I haven’t read the books myself, but I’ve heard there’s a lot of casual racism and sexism. Then again, we’re talking about books published in the 50s and 60s, so that’s not surprising.

I’m not saying this to discourage you, it’s only to provide a heads up.

Product of their time I suppose. I'm a big fan of HP Lovecraft so I'm no stranger to some questionable content lmao.
