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?

Neat concept, executed well. Likeable characters with a good bit of depth, and a nicely-paced plot that flows nicely, despite the odd flashback/interlude. Excellent narration makes the story all the more immersive.

The multitalented narrator sings, croons, and squeals! Amazed performance. Great story too: supernatural KKK feeds on hate!

Good story. Great performance

Set between the wars in Macon Georgia, it recasts the monsters of racism as actual monsters, with a great cast of characters. I really enjoy finding books by Black writers of cosmic horror, and am eager for more.

If you enjoyed Arkham County you'll enjoy this too

Ring Shot was great. I loved the pace of the story and the characters. This is my first time reading P.D. Clark and I’m excited to read more of his work. The subject matter and the language can be hard for some, but I highly recommend this book. Black thrillers/horror is different from what some would classify as the “conventional” because what has frightened us historical has been the injustices our ancestors and people continue to face even in modern times. This is why stories like Ring Shout hit differently. I definitely give this story 5/5 stars.

Great read!

Daaaamn, this was an excellent listen. The entire story is well constructed with some of the most interesting characters I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. Women with distinct combat skills hunt "Ku Kluxes", which are non human monsters pretending to be human. Raises a lot of good questions about justice vs revenge.

And hoooooooly shit, the reader. The reader, sorry, *performer* for the audiobook strode past my standards and made herself a platform an Olympic size swimming pool away from my old standards. Channie Waites sings, has distinct character voices, hits every sound effect, and generally made me feel like a friend was telling me her own story. I can't say enough good things about her.
