Maryse with her history of pain and loss, Sadie with her badass gun skills, and the former Harlem Hellfighter (WW1 soldier) Chef, together made a team that you could feel the connections in. Even though the book was short in pages, it still gave us little tidbits of each of the women that made me love them. I really loved the characters, these strong women fighting alongside each other. The scenes would be considered graphic, with the demons and disguised demons described like the stuff of nightmares, but this all lent itself well to the story and wasn’t over the top or overly gross (that I found). Horror is not a typical genre for me but when it’s done well, I do enjoy it. Coming in at under 200 pages, this novel/novella centers around Maryse and her gang of resistance fighters who are not only pushing back against the Klu Klux Klan as strong Black women, but also against actual Demons called Klu Kluxes (and more otherworldly beings) who thrive and feed on the hate living inside the racist members of the Klan and use it to grow and bring Hell to earth-unless the resistance fighters can stop them.īefore jumping into this one I knew it involved demons but I did not know it fit itself comfortably into the horror genre. Ring Shout is a small book that packs a big punch.
