Ring Shout

By: P. Djèlí Clark

Narrated by: Channie Waites

In America, demons wear white hoods.

In 1915, The Birth of a Nation casts a spell across America, swelling the Klan's ranks and drinking deep from the darkest thoughts of white folk. All across the nation they ride, spreading fear and violence among the vulnerable. They plan to bring hell to Earth. But even Ku Kluxes can die.

Standing in their way are Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foulmouthed sharpshooter and a Harlem Hellfighter. Armed with blade, bullet, and bomb, they hunt their hunters and send the Klan's demons straight to hell. But something awful's brewing in Macon, and the war on hell is about to heat up.

Can Maryse stop the Klan before it ends the world?

AMAZING

The story is an incredible story of anger and hate. The way the author shows the differences in these emotions is astounding. The audiobook reader does an incredible job with the different voices and songs. Truly a beautiful book all around.

Excellent Universe and Narrator

I love the universe that this builds, weaving all kinds of real historical and cultural touchstones into a rich mythology. I wish the other aspects of the book got as much attention—the characters are mostly archetypes and the plot never gives them room to do anything but the climactic move of what would otherwise be a chapter or series of chapters full of subtle discovery. This rushed quality robs most moments of their power, which are treated like big payoffs but have never been given enough time to build beforehand. However, I’d love to read more from this universe and from Clark in general. Narrator Waites does an excellent job. [AUDIBLE]

世界が大好きけどキャラクターとプロットが簡単すぎ。もっと長かったらよかったかも

Don't sleep on this book!

An excellent read overall. I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars. This book has elements of a supernatural horror mixed with superhero action and folk tale magic. The story telling is masterful, the characters engaging and the world building next level.

Refreshingly unlike anything I’ve ever listened to before

I’m glad that I listened to this book on audio because I think that it added to the overall experience of the story itself. I thought the story was smart and inventive. I only wish the evil that moves around us in the world could be explained away by saying it comes from another dimension but, unfortunately, it is all too human.

Amazing!!

Loved this story! Characters worked so well together. Hope it turns into a movie! Left me wanting more especially since “there’s another sword for that.”
