Bookseller recommendation

“Great for fans of Lovecraft Country, Ring Shout takes very real terrors and mixes them with demonic horrors that feed off hatred and racism in a fast paced novella you won't want to put down. ”
— Dany • Rediscovered Books

Bookseller recommendation

“Set in 1920s Macon, Georgia, Ring Shout pits champion Maryse Boudreaux, with her sword forged from the spirits of the enslaved and a sharpshooter and Harlem Hellfighter at each side, against the forces of evil—not only the Klan but the 'Ku Kluxes', monsters colonizing our world through hate and racism. As action-filled as it is soulful, Ring Shout is ultimately a powerful, gruesome, and transcendent meditation on trauma, hate, grief, and survival. ”
— Megan • Underground Books

Bookseller recommendation

“The emotionally charged, wild ride of Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark was one I did not want to end. Clark pulled me into the life of Maryse and her band of monster hunters and held me hostage. With beautiful language, deep characters, and a fully immersive world, this story of vengeance and self-forgiveness unfolds. By the end, I was in tears. Ring Shout perfectly takes on a dark, violent history, but also an uncertain, terrifying future. Everyone needs to read Ring Shout.”
— Sophie Giroir • Cavalier House Books
