Have you read...

In America, demons wear white hoods. In 1915, The Birth of a Nation cast 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 is Maryse Boudreaux and her fellow resistance fighters, a foul-mouthed 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?

I'm reading a book rn, Ring Shout, where the KKK are lovecraftian demons from the realm of the old gods(an over simplification of the plot) and the women fighting them just figured out the bad guy they intend to bring in is called The Grand Cyclops. Which I vaguely remember from either Watchmen or something else as a term for a member of the KKK. And indeed it was. And combining it with Lovecrafts liberal use of the word Cycoplean(which generally meant a style of architecture made of impossible to move seeming structures) and I see your vision P. Djèlí Clark. It's a really interesting direction to go and I love this emerging subgenre. And as opposed to the other big hitter in it, Lovecraft Country, the Old Gods are using the humans and racists instead of being used by them. It's so cool.

Have you read "Ring Shout" by P. Djèlí Clark?

It's a story of Black lady power, drawn from both the old and new worlds, a tale that honors the Black American experience in all its complexity, and yet also delivers in its Lovecraftian delight. If you're a fan of lovecraft country, then you'll love Ring Shout.

Not yet but it’s on my TBR. Right now I’m trying to get a bunch of my fantasy books by Black authors out of the way so that I can have more books on my physical TBR. I might just buy it though 🤔

Ring Shout

P. Djèlí Clark is a masterful author. The fusion of history and monsters made for such an exciting and intense story filled with both unimaginable and all too real horrors. The story was dark and hard-hitting, while still managing to feel hopeful and about the power of community.

Favorite Quote: They say God is good all the time. Seem he also likes irony.

The Ring Shout: A Transcendent Black American Religious Ritual with African Roots

The ring shout is a captivating and transcendent religious practice with deep roots in the history of African American culture. Originating from the customs of African slaves in the West Indies and the United States, the ring shout is a ritual characterized by its ecstatic and communal nature.

Ring Shout is a speculative fiction/urban fantasy novel, set in the 1920s. During prohibition a certain...group starts coming to power, and wears white robes and hoods. This books takes actual American history and adds sword and sorcery logic to it, all inspired by actual African American, predominantly Gullah Gullah culture/beliefs. The hood wearing clan are actually demons in disguise, and recruit then transform humans into them. At no point do the demons brainwash or make humans anger and prejudice. The novel explicitly states that the anger was always there, we are just feeding into it. And through that anger they transform humans into more demons.

I also like that the magic in the book isn't all Voodoo, there is one point with...special doctors (body horror), and a reoccurring visions with spirits, that act as fairy godmother to the protagonist. I also even noticed the Maiden Mother Crone aspect between them. Not sure of a parallels between that and their belief system, but it's a good aspect that I'm a sucker for. The magic comes from a spirit summoning sword, root magic, and ring shouts, where in (as far as a white girl understands) a circle of people chanting and singing a song. THE WORDS LITERALLY ARE WHAT GIVE THEM POWER. I enjoy this theme a lot because it is so true in reality, and in the fiction of this universe where propaganda can make an entire race believe they are superior than all other. On top of that, how do you fight lies and deceptive words? With truth and facts and open conversation.

I am quite white, but I loved reading this book. I'd recommend picking it up if you're a fan of the fantasy genre, it's just 190 pages and leaves you wanting for more.

I thought it was common knowledge that the Ku Klux Klan was monstrous, but this novel takes it to another level. Ring Shout by P. Djèlí Clark is a dark fantasy historical novella set in the 1920s. Ever since the release of The Birth of a Nation in 1915, monsters from an unknown realm started infecting our world. The film contained a powerful spell, turning those who watched it into those…
