Ring Shout

In a chilling alternate 1915, America reels under the hateful influence of D.W. Griffith's film *The Birth of a Nation*, which has not only swelled the ranks of the Ku Klux Klan but also birthed a literal demonic terror: the Ku Kluxes. These monstrous, supernatural entities feed on the darkest prejudices of humanity, threatening to plunge the world into an infernal nightmare. Standing against this rising tide of evil is Maryse Boudreaux, a fierce young woman from Macon, Georgia, armed with a magical blade and a relentless will. Alongside her are a formidable team: a sharpshooter whose insults are as sharp as her aim, and a battle-hardened Harlem Hellfighter. This unlikely band of resistance fighters wages a brutal, bullet-and-bomb-filled war against the Klan's infernal forces, hunting down the demons that embody America's historical and systemic hate. As a sinister plot brews in Macon, threatening to escalate the conflict to apocalyptic proportions, Maryse and her crew must confront unimaginable horrors to prevent Hell from consuming Earth. P. Djèlí Clark's 'Ring Shout' is a visceral, exhilarating dark fantasy novella that reimagines history as a desperate battleground against literal demons of white supremacy.
