To be clear, it doesn't bother me if the authors themselves are liberals, as long as the book/story doesn't have woke nonsense. In that sense, I guess older novels would be the best bet.
EDIT - Holy moly, thanks for all of the suggestions. I have my work cut out for me, looking into all these authors this summer.
Lovecraft is a must.
These have to be read, they can't be told as movies.
The woke mob wants to erase him because of his 'black' cat so kids these days might have missed out. Lovecraft created a whole new genre and is still the king of it.
What? They have a problem with his cat, Niggerman? Why do they have a problem with Niggerman?
